Zeiss Ikon Movikon K16
The Zeiss Ikon Movikon K16 is a 16mm spring-wound cine camera produced by the German manufacturer Zeiss Ikon. It was aimed at the amateur and semi-professional movie market when introduced.
Documented UK auction hammer results for the Movikon K16 are limited to two sales from 2003, where prices ranged from £190 to £300 at saleroom level (wholesale, before commission). With so few data points, today's value is best treated as indicative rather than firm, and condition of the spring motor and lens will materially affect what a Movikon K16 sells for.
