Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta D
The Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta D (530/15) is a folding medium-format rangefinder camera that takes 6.5x11cm exposures on 116 roll film. It belongs to the pre-war Super Ikonta family, distinguished by Zeiss Ikon's coupled rotating-wedge rangefinder mounted on the front of the folding bed.
Auction data for this specific model is extremely thin: the only verified UK saleroom result on file is a single hammer price of £240 from 2007, which reflects what one clean example sold for in the auction market rather than a current retail or dealer asking price. With no recent comparable sales, today's value is difficult to pin down, and a buyer asking what a Super Ikonta D is worth in 2026 should treat that historic figure as a loose anchor only.

Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta D (530/15) worth today?
The only verified UK auction record on file is a £240 hammer price from 2007; with no recent sales to benchmark against, current value is uncertain and condition-dependent.
How much does a Super Ikonta D sell for at auction?
Evidence is limited to a single recorded sale at £240, so any current price estimate carries a wide margin of error.
Can you still use a Super Ikonta D (530/15)?
It was designed for 116 roll film, which is no longer manufactured, so practical use requires respooling 120 film onto 116 spools.
