Zeiss Ikon Juwel 275/7 (Universal)
The Zeiss Ikon Juwel 275/7 (Universal) is a folding plate camera produced by Zeiss Ikon, the German manufacturer formed in 1926 from the merger of several earlier camera makers. It belongs to the company's pre-war large-format folding range, designed for sheet film and plate photography.
With only a single UK auction record on file, pricing for the Juwel 275/7 is difficult to pin down precisely; the one logged hammer result reached £950 at saleroom level in 2016, reflecting wholesale auction value rather than dealer retail. As of 2026 there is insufficient recent data to state what a Juwel 275/7 is reliably worth today, and condition, completeness of lens and back, and originality would heavily influence any future sale price.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Juwel 275/7 worth?
The only UK auction hammer result on record sold for £950, but with just one data point this should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market price.
How much does a Zeiss Ikon Juwel 275/7 sell for at auction?
The single logged sale fetched £950 at hammer, excluding buyer's premium; actual value on any given example depends heavily on condition, lens fitted and completeness of holders and back.
Is the Juwel 275/7 a collectible camera?
Pre-war Zeiss Ikon folding plate cameras attract specialist collector interest, and the limited sales data available suggests the Juwel sits at the higher end of that segment when complete.
