Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 530/2 (Ikonta C)
The Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 530/2, also marketed as the Ikonta C, is a folding rollfilm camera made by Zeiss Ikon. It belongs to the company's pre-war Ikonta line of self-erecting folders introduced in the 1930s, producing 6x9cm negatives on 120 film.
Recorded UK auction activity for the Ikonta 530/2 is very thin: a single hammer result of £50 in August 2023 is the only data point on file, so today's wholesale value at saleroom level is best described by that one sale rather than a meaningful range. Buyers asking what an Ikonta C is worth in 2026 should treat £50 as indicative only, with condition, bellows integrity, and shutter health driving where any given example actually sells for in the auction market.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 530/2 worth today?
The only logged UK auction hammer price is £50 from August 2023, so the available value evidence points to around that level, though a single sale is not a reliable guide to the wider price range.
How much does an Ikonta C sell for at auction?
On the limited data available, the Ikonta C (530/2) has sold for £50 at UK auction; clean, fully working examples with intact bellows could reasonably command more, but no higher hammer results are on file here.
Is the Ikonta 530/2 the same as the Ikonta C?
Yes — Ikonta C was Zeiss Ikon's marketing designation for the 6x9cm 530/2 model within the Ikonta folder range.
