Zeiss Ikon Contaflex (860/24)

The Zeiss Ikon Contaflex (860/24) is a twin-lens reflex 35mm camera produced by Zeiss Ikon in Germany. It was introduced in the mid-1930s as a high-end 35mm TLR and was positioned at the top of the market when new, reflecting a complex mechanical design and premium build.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Contaflex (860/24) have sat in the £650–£710 range, with a median near £690 and values holding at that level today. Because these are saleroom wholesale results rather than retail asking prices, dealer-offered examples typically sit higher, and condition and completeness can swing what a specific body sells for.
