Does anyone have any idea what a prewar Zeiss Ikon Nettar camera 510/2 might be worth these days? It's a folding camera, made in Germany, in good nick. I've had it 60-odd years.

There is one on sale on ebay for about £80 (buy it now price) from Bulgaria. Eastern European prices are usually a bit optimistic ar are buy it now which are often twice what thing sell for at auction. My best guess would be about £40.

Thank you. Don't suppose you know if one can still get film for them? Ilford FP3, for instance?
Not worth a great deal even to a collector. Nice quality though but not a patch on todays lenses of course. It takes 120 size film which is still used by certain pros. Look it up on the Calumet (a well known photo wholesaler)site. Kodak Portra colour neg for instance as well as black and white neg film.
Ilford still make B&W 120 roll film:

The Delta Professional range is the easiest to find (with online prices from £4).

There are still a few firms which process 120 roll films, but Ilford offer their own service:

For colour, you'd probably need to seek out Kodak's Professional Tri-X Pan 400 or their Professional Ektar 100 or Professional Portra 800 products.

If you're thinking of using the camera I'd advise getting the true shutter speeds checked first, as they can change greatly over time.
