Leitz Leicina 8S

The Leicina 8S is a Double-8 cine camera introduced by Leitz at Photokina in 1960 as the first model in the Leicina line. It uses a built-in electric motor, automatic exposure control, and a fixed 15mm Dygon f/2 lens, positioning it as an amateur movie camera within the Leitz range of the early 1960s.

Sales data is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £19 in June 2023 is the only data point on file as of today. With only one wholesale saleroom price recorded, it is not possible to give a reliable view of what a Leicina 8S is worth or what one typically sells for, though the figure suggests modest value at auction level rather than collector premiums.
