The Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 524/16 (Ikonta M) is a folding medium-format roll-film camera producing 6×6 negatives on 120 film. It sits within Zeiss Ikon's postwar folding-camera line, aimed at amateur photographers who wanted a compact bellows camera that could be carried in a coat pocket.

Auction data for this specific model is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom hammer result from 2003 sold for £167, which gives only a historical reference point rather than a current market value. With no recent sales to anchor a range or median, today's worth is uncertain and the price a buyer pays will depend heavily on cosmetic condition, working shutter speeds, and bellows integrity. Treat the £167 figure as an indicative wholesale auction-hammer level from over two decades ago, not a guide to what the camera sells for now.
