Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta III

The Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta III is a medium-format folding rangefinder camera that takes 6x6 exposures on 120 roll film. Introduced in the mid-1950s, it sat in the Super Ikonta line as a compact, coupled-rangefinder folder aimed at the enthusiast market.

Hammer prices for the Super Ikonta III (531/16) at recent UK auction have ranged from around £110 to £240, with only a small number of recorded results. At saleroom level in 2026, clean, working examples with clear rangefinders and clean shutters sit toward the upper end of that range, while cosmetically tired bodies sell for less.
