Nicca 5

The Nicca 5 is a Japanese 35mm rangefinder camera in the Leica screw-mount tradition, produced in the post-war era when several Japanese makers built bodies closely modelled on the pre-war Leica II/III pattern. It was positioned as a working photographer's tool rather than a budget alternative, sitting within Nicca's line of screw-mount rangefinders.

Auction data for the Nicca 5 is thin: the only verified UK saleroom result on file is a single hammer price of £250 from 2010, so any sense of what one is worth today rests on that lone data point rather than a true range or median. Hammer prices at UK auction reflect wholesale levels achieved in the saleroom and exclude commission, and with only one record the value of a Nicca 5 in 2026 is best treated as indicative; condition, completeness with a period lens, and working rangefinder accuracy will move the price the camera sells for in either direction.
