Zeiss Ikon Universal Juwel 275/7
The Zeiss Ikon Universal Juwel 275/7 is a large-format folding plate camera produced by Zeiss Ikon, the German manufacturer formed in 1926 from the merger of several earlier firms. It belongs to the pre-war class of wooden-bodied field cameras aimed at professional and advanced amateur use.
Auction data for the Universal Juwel 275/7 is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result from November 2025 records a price of £160. With only one data point available in today's market, that figure should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable guide to what the camera is worth, and condition, completeness of the original holders, and presence of a working lens will materially affect the price a given example sells for.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Zeiss Ikon Universal Juwel 275/7 worth today?
Based on a single recorded UK auction hammer result from late 2025, one example sold for £160, but with so few data points the true market value is uncertain and depends heavily on condition and completeness.
How much does a Zeiss Ikon Universal Juwel 275/7 sell for at auction?
The only verified UK saleroom price on file is £160, achieved in November 2025; further sales would be needed to establish a reliable price range.
What should I check before buying one?
Inspect the bellows for light leaks, the wooden body for damage, and the lens and shutter for correct operation, and confirm whether plate holders are included.
