Ernemann Kinette

The Ernemann Kinette is an early German cine camera produced by the Dresden-based maker Ernemann, which traded under that name until its 1926 absorption into Zeiss Ikon. It is a small-format motion-picture camera from the early twentieth century, aimed at amateur cinematography rather than professional studio work.

Reference points for what an Ernemann Kinette is worth in 2026 are extremely limited: only a single UK auction-hammer result is on file, a £1,100 sale in November 2016, and that wholesale-level figure excludes buyer's and seller's commission. With just one data point, today's price for a comparable example could plausibly fall well above or below that figure depending on completeness and condition, and any quoted value should be treated as indicative rather than a market median.
