Zeiss Ikon Kino A
The Zeiss Ikon Kino A is an early cine camera produced by Zeiss Ikon, the German manufacturer formed in 1926 from the merger of Contessa-Nettel, Ernemann, Goerz and ICA. It is a collector-grade piece rather than a user camera, and its value today is driven almost entirely by rarity and historical interest.
Auction data for the Kino A is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom result from 2007 saw one sell for £960 at hammer (wholesale level, before commissions). With only one data point, today's price for a Kino A in 2026 is best treated as indicative rather than a reliable market median, and condition, completeness and provenance will heavily influence what any individual example is worth.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Kino A worth today?
On the only recorded UK auction sale, a Kino A sold for £960 at hammer; with just one data point, that figure is the best available reference rather than a firm market price.
How much does a Zeiss Ikon Kino A sell for at auction?
The single tracked UK auction result is £960 hammer from 2007, so realistic prices today depend heavily on condition and how many bidders are competing on the day.
Why is the Kino A's value so hard to pin down?
With only one verified sale in the dataset, there is no reliable median or range, and the model rarely surfaces in the saleroom, which makes any single result a weak guide to wider market value.
