The price ranges shown are the approximate amount one should expect to have to pay for a Super Ikontain excellent, but used, condition. Camera should be fully functional as a classic camera with a mostly clean appearance, showing light signs of use or age. Cameras probably need a CLA for regular use and to ensure film plane and lens are properly collimated. Pricing was gathered from sales on photo.net, ebay auctions, Ritzcam.com, KEH.com, and other camera dealers. Prices are biased towards ebay auctions. Expect to pay +15 to +25% more buying from a dealer. Only the more common variations are listed. Since this was a long running series of cameras, there are quite a few variations in each model.
Please note that examples in minty condition get significant premiums given that the average Super Ikonta usually has a good amount of wear.
