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.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta II worth today?

In the current UK auction market most Super Ikonta II bodies sell for £50 to £110 at hammer, with a median around £70 based on sales between 2022 and 2025.

How much does a Super Ikonta II sell for in clean, working condition?

A cosmetically tidy example with a clear rangefinder and light-tight bellows sells for around £100 at auction, as shown by the £101 and £106 hammer prices achieved in 2025 and 2022.

Is the Super Ikonta II a good value folding medium format camera?

At a typical price of £50–£110 it is one of the cheaper ways into a coupled-rangefinder 120 folder, but the value depends heavily on the bellows and rangefinder being sound, since repair parts are hard to source.

Do the different variants (531/2, 532/16, 533/16) change the price?

All three references trade in broadly the same £50–£110 band at recent UK auction, with condition mattering more than which specific body code is stamped on the camera.
