Ernemann Unette (22x33)

The Ernemann Unette is a small-format plate camera produced in Germany by Ernemann of Dresden in the early twentieth century, taking 22×33 mm exposures on glass plates. It was positioned as a compact, pocket-sized instrument in Ernemann's pre-Zeiss Ikon line-up, aimed at amateur photographers wanting a lightweight plate camera.

At UK auction, hammer results for the Unette (22×33) sit in a narrow band of roughly £130–£140, with a median price of about £130 based on the limited saleroom data available. These are wholesale-level prices achieved under the hammer, and in today's market clean, complete examples with an original case tend to fetch more than incomplete bodies. Because recorded sales are thin and dated, what a given Unette is worth now depends heavily on condition, completeness and buyer appetite on the day.
