Zeiss Ikon Icarette 551/2
The Zeiss Ikon Icarette 551/2 is a folding roll-film camera produced by the German maker Zeiss Ikon in the earlier decades of the twentieth century. It belongs to the medium-format folding category that was widely sold for general photography before 35mm equipment displaced it.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the Icarette 551/2 have sat around £150 in the recorded sales, with both data points landing at that figure — so the working median and range today both centre on £150 at saleroom level. With only two results on file, condition of the bellows, shutter and leather covering tends to swing what any individual example sells for.
