Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta

The Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta is a folding medium-format roll-film camera, distinguished from the standard Ikonta line by its built-in coupled rangefinder. It was introduced by Zeiss Ikon in the 1930s and produced in several body sizes for 120 film, positioned as a premium folder for serious amateurs and working photographers when new.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for Super Ikonta bodies have sat in a narrow £56–£75 band, with the most recent 2025 sale closing at £56 and a 2023 result at £75 — wholesale saleroom levels rather than dealer retail. As of 2026 the median hammer price is around £70, with older Christie's results from 2001 showing that exceptional, complete examples have sold for as much as £176. What a Super Ikonta is worth today depends heavily on which body size and lens fitment is present, and on shutter and bellows condition.
