Zeiss Ikon Nettar
The Zeiss Ikon Nettar is a folding roll-film camera produced for the medium-format amateur market. It was made in several variants taking 120 film, positioned below the Ikonta range as a more affordable folder.
Auction data for the Nettar is very thin: the only recorded UK saleroom hammer result is £109 from a Christie's sale, so a current 2026 price band cannot be reliably stated. Today, condition of the bellows, shutter and lens generally drives what a Nettar is worth at auction far more than the specific variant.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Nettar worth today?
Auction evidence is limited to a single recorded UK hammer price of £109, so a reliable current value range cannot be quoted from the data available.
How much does a Zeiss Ikon Nettar sell for at auction?
The only verified UK saleroom result on file sold for £109 hammer, which excludes buyer's premium; clean, fully working examples may price differently when more data is gathered.
What should I check before buying a Nettar?
Check the bellows for light leaks, the shutter for sticky slow speeds, and the lens for haze or fungus, as these faults most affect both usability and resale value.
