Zeh Zeca-Flex

The Zeh Zeca-Flex is a folding roll-film camera produced in Germany by Zeh of Dresden. It was introduced in the 1930s and sold as a mid-tier folder aimed at amateur photographers of the period.

At recent UK auction, Zeca-Flex hammer prices have ranged from around £380 to £760, with a median close to £520 — these are saleroom results rather than dealer retail. Older Christie's results from the late 1990s and early 2000s fell in a similar £480–£710 band, so today in 2026 the model still sells for broadly the same money it was worth twenty years ago. Condition of the bellows, shutter and viewing system drives most of the price variation.
