Zeiss Ikon Super Nettel

The Zeiss Ikon Super Nettel is a folding 35mm rangefinder camera produced in Germany during the 1930s. It sat in the upper tier of Zeiss Ikon's pre-war 35mm line, combining a self-erecting bellows design with a coupled rangefinder.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Super Nettel have spanned roughly £45 to £220, with the four recorded results giving a median around £180. Values today in 2026 are highly condition-sensitive at saleroom level: a tatty body with pinholed bellows or a hazy finder sells for well under £100, while a cosmetically clean, working example is worth noticeably more and can sell for a figure toward the top of that range.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Zeiss Ikon Super Nettel worth today?

Based on recent UK auction hammer results, a Super Nettel is worth roughly £45 for a rough example and up to about £220 for a clean, working one, with a median value near £180.

How much does a Zeiss Ikon Super Nettel sell for at auction?

Recorded UK hammer prices range from £45 to £220, so most examples sell for a price somewhere in that band depending on cosmetic and mechanical condition.

Why does the price vary so much?

Condition drives the value: bellows integrity, shutter accuracy and rangefinder clarity are the key factors that separate a sub-£100 body from one that sells for over £200.
