Ernemann Ernoflex Model II
The Ernemann Ernoflex Model II is an early 20th-century German single-lens reflex camera produced by Ernemann of Dresden, a maker that was folded into Zeiss Ikon in 1926. It is a folding-bed SLR using sheet film or plates, aimed at press and serious amateur photographers of its era.
At UK auction the Ernoflex Model II has hammered between £160 and £350, with the two recorded results sitting either side of a roughly £250 midpoint — these are wholesale saleroom results, not retail asking prices. Today in 2026 the value of any given example is highly condition-sensitive, with bellows integrity, shutter function and the originality of the taking lens driving where a specific camera sells for within that range.
