Zeiss Ikon Icarex 35 S
The Zeiss Ikon Icarex 35 S is a 35mm SLR produced by Zeiss Ikon in the late 1960s. It was offered in bayonet-mount (BM) and screw-mount Pro variants, positioned as a mid-level system SLR.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the Icarex 35 S have ranged from around £140 to £240, with the two recorded sales straddling that band. With so few data points, today's value for a working example is best read against that range rather than a firm median, and condition and completeness strongly influence what each body sells for.
