Zeiss Ikon Movikon 8
The Zeiss Ikon Movikon 8 is a clockwork-driven 8mm cine camera produced by the German maker Zeiss Ikon. It was aimed at amateur home-movie use during the standard 8mm era of the mid-twentieth century.
Auction data for the Movikon 8 is thin: the only verified UK saleroom result on file is a single hammer price of £188 from 2003, so any current value figure should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable median. With so few comparables, today's worth depends heavily on cosmetic condition, whether the spring motor still runs to speed, and the presence of the original case and lens cap when the camera sells at auction.
