Zeiss Ikon Icarette 512/15
The Zeiss Ikon Icarette 512/15 is a folding roll-film camera produced by Zeiss Ikon, the German manufacturer formed in 1926 from the merger of ICA, Contessa-Nettel, Ernemann and Goerz. The Icarette line was positioned as a compact folding camera for amateur photographers in the inter-war period.
Auction data for the Icarette 512/15 is extremely thin: the only recorded UK saleroom hammer result we have is £420 from May 2009, so a reliable current price band cannot be established for today's market. With just one data point and no recent comparables, what this camera is worth in 2026 will depend heavily on condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day it sells for.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Icarette 512/15 worth today?
Sales evidence is very limited; the single UK auction hammer record on file is £420, so any current valuation should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market price.
How much does a Zeiss Ikon Icarette 512/15 sell for at auction?
With only one recorded UK auction result (£420 in 2009), there is not enough data to quote a reliable price range, and the value of a given example will depend on condition and completeness.
Is the Icarette 512/15 a usable camera?
As a folding roll-film camera it can still be used if the bellows are light-tight and the shutter speeds are accurate, but a service is often needed before reliable shooting.
