The Ermanox 858/3 is a Zeiss Ikon plate camera from the early 20th century, descended from the Ernemann Ermanox line known for its fast fixed lens designed for available-light photography. It is a collector-grade item rather than a working tool, valued today for its place in the history of pre-war German camera manufacture.

UK auction evidence for the Ermanox 858/3 is thin: a single hammer result of £1,500 in April 2025 is the only recorded sale in our data, so that figure currently defines what the camera is worth at saleroom level in 2026. Because the sample is so small, prices today can swing well above or below that mark depending on lens condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day, and the result reflects wholesale hammer level before buyer's premium rather than a dealer retail price.
