Kodak Ektra

The Kodak Ektra is a 35mm rangefinder camera introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1941 as a high-end system camera with interchangeable lenses and interchangeable backs. It was Kodak's most ambitious American-made 35mm design, positioned against the German rangefinders of the period.

Hammer prices for the Kodak Ektra at UK auction have spanned roughly £490 to £1,400, reflecting the wide condition gap between working and display-only examples in the saleroom. As of 2026 the model remains thinly traded, so the value of any given body depends heavily on whether a matching lens and original accessories accompany it. Complete outfits sell for considerably more than bare bodies at auction level.
