Zeiss Ikon Miroflex A 859/3
The Zeiss Ikon Miroflex A 859/3 is a German-made single-lens reflex plate camera. It belongs to the early-twentieth-century era of folding SLR plate cameras, positioned as a professional-tier instrument when new.
Auction data for the Miroflex A 859/3 is thin: a single recorded UK saleroom hammer result of £344 from 2003 is the only reference point, so today's value should be treated as indicative rather than established. With no recent comparable sales, what the camera is worth in 2026 will depend heavily on completeness, shutter function and cosmetic condition, and a clean working example could realistically sell for more or less than that historic figure at auction.
