Zeiss Ikon Hologon Ultrawide (10.0659)
The Zeiss Ikon Hologon Ultrawide (10.0659) is a 35mm film camera built around a fixed 15mm Hologon ultra-wide-angle lens. It was produced by Zeiss Ikon in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a specialist wide-angle tool, positioned at the top of the market when new.
At recent UK auction, hammer results for the Hologon Ultrawide have ranged from around £62 for an incomplete or faulty example up to £3,000 for a clean, complete set, with most verified results sitting between roughly £1,300 and £2,000. The most recent 2025 sale fetched £2,000 at saleroom level, suggesting that in 2026 a complete, working outfit is worth comfortably into four figures, while the price a rough body sells for can collapse well below £100. Condition, completeness of the dedicated centre-filter and finder, and cosmetic state drive very large swings in value.
