Zeiss Ikon Contaflex III 863/24
The Zeiss Ikon Contaflex III 863/24 is a 35mm leaf-shutter SLR from the German Contaflex line, sitting within the family of fixed-lens reflex cameras Zeiss Ikon produced during the 1950s. When new it was positioned as a higher-specification variant within the Contaflex range.
Auction data for the Contaflex III 863/24 is extremely thin: only a single UK saleroom hammer result is on record, at £125 in 2004, which sets the only concrete reference point for what this model has sold for. With no recent comparable sales, today's value is difficult to pin down from auction evidence alone, and the price a clean working example fetches at auction will hinge heavily on cosmetic condition and shutter function.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex III 863/24 worth today?
The only verified UK auction hammer result on file is £125, so that single data point is the best available guide to its worth, though a single sale from years ago is not a reliable current valuation.
How much does a Contaflex III sell for at auction?
On the limited evidence available, this reference has sold for around £125 at hammer in the UK auction market, with no recent comparable results to confirm whether the price has shifted.
What affects the price of a Contaflex III?
Condition is the dominant factor: a working shutter, clean optics and tidy cosmetics will lift the value, while haze, sticky blades or a non-functioning shutter will pull it down sharply.
