Ertel Filmette II
The Ertel Filmette II is a German-made cine camera. With only a single recorded auction result it sits in the specialist end of the cine collector market rather than mainstream still-camera collecting.
Sales history for the Filmette II is extremely thin: the only logged UK auction hammer result is £1,600 from May 2007, so today there is no reliable price band to quote. Buyers asking what an Ertel Filmette II is worth in 2026 should treat that single saleroom figure as wholesale-level evidence only, since hammer prices exclude commission and a sample of one cannot establish a market median.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
