Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex Ic
The Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex Ic is a twin-lens reflex camera taking 6x6cm images on 120 roll film. It sits within the Ikoflex family produced by Zeiss Ikon in Germany during the mid-20th century, aimed at advanced amateurs who wanted a medium-format reflex alternative to the Rolleiflex.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Ikoflex Ic have been modest: three sales between 2024 and 2025 cleared at £38 to £50, with a median around £50. An older 2003 result reached £188, so today's saleroom level is noticeably softer, and what an Ikoflex Ic sells for is highly condition-sensitive — working shutters and clean viewing screens lift value, while haze or seized focus pulls prices toward the bottom of the range.
