Leica Leicina 8SV
The Leicina 8SV is a Leitz 8mm cine camera that joined the Leicina range in 1963, fitted from the factory with a zoom lens. It sat in the consumer movie segment alongside other small-format cine cameras of the early 1960s.
Auction data for the Leicina 8SV is extremely thin: the only recorded UK saleroom result available is a 1999 Christie's hammer of £28 (wholesale level, before commission), so a meaningful current price band cannot be drawn. Buyers asking what a Leicina 8SV is worth in 2026 should treat it as a low-value collectible whose price today is set more by cosmetic condition and working zoom lens than by any established market tier.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Leicina 8SV worth today?
Recorded UK auction evidence is limited to a single 1999 Christie's hammer price of £28, so a reliable current value cannot be quoted; condition and a working zoom lens drive whatever price it sells for.
How much does a Leicina 8SV sell for at auction?
With only one verified saleroom result on file (£28 hammer in 1999), the Leicina 8SV trades as a low-value 8mm cine collectible rather than at any established price level.
When was the Leicina 8SV introduced?
The Leicina 8SV joined the Leicina range in 1963.
Does the Leicina 8SV have a zoom lens?
Yes — the 8SV was fitted with a zoom lens as standard.
