Leitz 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.
