The Ica Favorit (265) Tropical is a large-format folding plate camera produced in a tropical specification, with brass fittings and hardwood body construction intended for use in humid climates. Ica was a German manufacturer active in the early 20th century before its 1926 absorption into Zeiss Ikon, and the Favorit sat in the upper tier of its plate-camera range.

Sales data for the Favorit (265) Tropical is extremely thin, with only one recorded UK auction hammer result of £420 from 2011. With a single data point more than a decade old, today's value is difficult to pin down, and what a clean example sells for now would depend heavily on bellows condition, completeness of the lens and shutter, and the state of the teak and brass.
