Wirgin Edinex
The Wirgin Edinex is a German 35mm viewfinder camera from the pre-war and early post-war era, produced by Gebr. Wirgin of Wiesbaden. It was sold as a compact, affordable option using standard 35mm film cassettes.
Sales evidence is thin: a single UK auction hammer result in June 2023 saw an Edinex sell for £35, which gives a wholesale-level data point rather than a true market range. With only one record on file in 2026, anyone asking what a Wirgin Edinex is worth today should treat that figure as indicative only, and condition, shutter function, and completeness of the original case will heavily influence what a clean example sells for at saleroom level.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Wirgin Edinex worth today?
On the available evidence, a Wirgin Edinex sold for £35 at UK auction in 2023; with only one recorded hammer price, that figure is the best available guide to its current value rather than a firm market range.
How much does a Wirgin Edinex sell for at auction?
The single logged UK auction sale brought a hammer price of £35, so comparable examples in similar condition would be expected to trade around that level, subject to shutter and lens condition.
Is the Wirgin Edinex a collectible camera?
It has collector interest as an early German 35mm viewfinder camera, but the limited sales record suggests modest prices rather than strong demand.
