Zeiss Ikon Contarex Hologon
The Zeiss Ikon Contarex Hologon is a 35mm film camera built around the fixed Hologon ultra-wide lens, sold as part of the Contarex line. It was a specialist body aimed at architectural and wide-field photography rather than a general-purpose SLR.
Auction data for the Contarex Hologon is thin: a single recent UK saleroom result in November 2025 saw an example fetch £725 at hammer (wholesale, before commission), which gives an indicative value rather than a settled market price. With so few comparables, what a Contarex Hologon is worth in 2026 swings sharply on lens condition and completeness, and individual results today can land well above or below that figure.
