Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta C

The Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta C is a folding medium-format rangefinder camera that takes 6x9cm frames on 120 roll film. Introduced in the 1930s, it sat at the upper end of Zeiss Ikon's folding range, combining a coupled rotating-wedge rangefinder with a self-erecting bellows front.

Auction data for the Super Ikonta C is thin, with a single recorded UK hammer result of £198 in 2021 — a wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail asking price. On that limited evidence, today's value for a working example sits around the £200 mark, though clean 531/2 bodies with a clear Tessar and a functioning rangefinder can sell for more when they appear.
