Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta B

The Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta B is a folding medium-format rangefinder camera taking 6x6cm images on 120 roll film. Introduced in the late 1930s as the 530/16 and continued post-war as the 532/16, it sat at the upper end of Zeiss Ikon's folder range, with the Super-Six variant fitted with the faster Tessar f/2.8 lens.

At UK auction in 2026, hammer prices for Super Ikonta B bodies have typically sat in the £50–£140 range, with a median around £94 across the records on file. Recent saleroom results (2022–2023) have clustered at the lower end, with working examples selling for £50 to £100 at the hammer; the Super-Six 530/16 with Tessar f/2.8 tends to command a premium over the slower f/3.5 variants when condition and bellows are sound.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta B worth today?

Recent UK auction hammer prices have ranged from around £50 to £140, with a median near £94. Cleaner examples and the faster Super-Six variant sit toward the upper end of that range.

How much does a Super Ikonta B sell for at auction?

Most recent hammer results fall between £50 and £100 for standard 530/16 and 532/16 bodies in usable condition. Prices are heavily condition-sensitive, with bellows integrity and rangefinder accuracy the main value drivers.

Is the Super-Six variant worth more?

Yes — the Super-Six 530/16 with the Tessar f/2.8 lens typically achieves a higher price than f/3.5 examples, reflecting both its scarcity and the faster optic.

What film does it take?

The Super Ikonta B takes standard 120 roll film and produces 6x6cm negatives, which remains readily available today.
