Zeiss Ikon Kinamo S10

The Zeiss Ikon Kinamo S10 is an early amateur cine camera made for 16mm film, produced by Zeiss Ikon in Germany. It is a compact, spring-driven movie camera from the inter-war era, positioned as a portable home-movie tool when introduced.

Auction data for the Kinamo S10 is thin: the only logged UK saleroom result we have is a single hammer price of £100 (2006), so today's value guidance is necessarily indicative rather than statistical. At that wholesale level — auction hammer prices exclude buyer's and seller's commission — the camera sells for figures driven heavily by cosmetic condition, mechanical function of the spring motor, and completeness of the original case and lens. Buyers researching what a Kinamo S10 is worth in 2026 should treat the £100 datapoint as a floor reference rather than a current market median.
