Ernemann Erni

The Ernemann Erni is an early plate camera produced by Ernemann, the Dresden-based manufacturer active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries before its absorption into Zeiss Ikon in 1926. As a period German plate camera, it sits in the entry-to-mid tier of Ernemann's pre-war lineup.

With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result, pricing data for the Erni is thin: the one logged sale, in December 2009, fetched £200 at saleroom level (wholesale, before commission). On that limited evidence the Erni's worth today in 2026 is best treated as indicative rather than firm, and what an example sells for will depend heavily on completeness, lens condition and bellows integrity.
