Zeiss Ikon Miroflex B (Luxus)
The Zeiss Ikon Miroflex B (Luxus) is a German-made single-lens reflex plate and rollfilm camera from the early 20th century, produced as a deluxe-finish variant of the standard Miroflex B body. It was positioned at the upper end of Zeiss Ikon's professional SLR line, aimed at photographers requiring a focal-plane shutter and reflex viewing in a folding format.
Auction data for this deluxe variant is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom result from 2010 saw a Miroflex B (Luxus) hammer at £700, and no further verified sales have surfaced since. With only one hammer price on file, today's value is best treated as indicative rather than a reliable guide, and condition, completeness of the original lens, and presence of accessories will heavily influence what a comparable example sells for.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Miroflex B (Luxus) worth today?
Based on the only verified UK auction record on file, a Miroflex B (Luxus) achieved a hammer price of £700, though with just one data point this should be treated as a single reference rather than an established market value.
How much does a Miroflex B (Luxus) sell for at auction?
The single recorded UK hammer result stands at £700; without further comparable sales it is not possible to give a reliable range, and the actual price a given example fetches will depend strongly on cosmetic condition and shutter function.
Is the Luxus version more valuable than a standard Miroflex B?
Deluxe-finish variants of pre-war Zeiss Ikon cameras typically command a premium over their standard counterparts, but the supplied sales history contains too few records to quantify that premium for the Miroflex B specifically.
