Zeiss Ikon Maximar 207/9
The Zeiss Ikon Maximar 207/9 is a folding plate camera from the German maker Zeiss Ikon, produced in the early 20th century. It was positioned as a mid-tier folding plate camera for amateur and serious enthusiast use of its era.
Sales data for the Maximar 207/9 is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result from September 2024 recorded a price of £19, which sits at wholesale saleroom level rather than retail. With only one data point, what a Maximar 207/9 is worth in 2026 is best treated as indicative rather than definitive, and condition, completeness of the lens/shutter assembly, and inclusion of plate holders will materially affect what the camera sells for.
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. How this figure is calculated.
