Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta II

The Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta II is a folding medium format rangefinder camera for 120 roll film, produced by the German maker Zeiss Ikon in the post-war era. It sat in the upper tier of Zeiss Ikon's folding range thanks to its coupled rangefinder, and was offered in several body references including the 531/2, 532/16 and 533/16 covering different negative formats.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Super Ikonta II have typically fallen in the £50–£110 band, with a median around £70 across sales from 2022 to 2025 and a standout £101 result in March 2025. Older saleroom records from the 2000s show the model has sold for as much as £490, so clean, fully working examples with a clear rangefinder and bright lens still command a premium today over tired ones. As these are UK hammer figures — wholesale levels before buyer's premium — condition and the specific variant are the main drivers of what a given body is worth.
