Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex Ia
The Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex Ia is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex camera using 120 roll film, part of the Ikoflex TLR line produced by Zeiss Ikon. It sat in the mid-tier of the German TLR market when new, positioned below the later Ikoflex Favorit.
Pricing data for the Ikoflex Ia is extremely thin: the only UK auction hammer record on file is a single 2003 sale at £104, so any current value or worth figure today should be treated as indicative rather than firm. With so little recent saleroom activity, what an Ikoflex Ia sells for in 2026 depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter function, and lens clarity, and a fresh comparable result would carry more weight than this dated reference price.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex Ia worth today?
Auction data is sparse — the only recorded UK hammer result on file is £104 from 2003, so any present-day value should be confirmed against fresher comparable sales.
How much does a Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex Ia sell for at UK auction?
With just one verified saleroom record, a reliable price band cannot be quoted; condition, working shutter, and clear optics are the main factors that push the figure up or down.
Is the Ikoflex Ia a 120 film camera?
Yes, it is a 6x6 twin-lens reflex that takes 120 roll film.
