Zeiss Ikon Nettax 538/24

The Zeiss Ikon Nettax 538/24 is a folding rollfilm camera from the German Zeiss Ikon stable, produced in the late 1930s. It was positioned as a medium-format folder using 120 film and sat within Zeiss Ikon's broader pre-war line-up of bellows cameras.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Nettax 538/24 have varied widely depending on condition and completeness, with recorded results spanning roughly £130 to £1,300 and a median around £650. A 2025 sale cleared at £130, while stronger historical results from the early 2010s show what clean, complete examples have been worth in the saleroom; today the typical value sits well below those peak figures, and buyers should treat the upper end as exceptional rather than expected.
