Hi Martti,

My opinion collector retail on these would be the following, and people can differ on it:
Elikon - $150-$200
Elikon-2 - very expensive and very rare
Elikon-3 - $100-$200 possibly, if you're lucky you can get one cheaper
Elikon-4 - $20-$40

Cheers,
Vlad.

Thank you for answer!!!

But how much elikons are made? Elikon-2, like I understand, about 200, but is elikon rare or not?

The first Elikon is fairly rare as well.. about the exact number made - there is not data, but not many. There is Elikon and Elikon-1 (completely different camera, very rare prototype). There is also Elikon-5 [:P]. Just a few pieces. About Elikon-2 I would say it may be even less than 200 pieces, according to Suglob-Shaternik-Kochergin book - few pieces

Best regards,
Vlad.

Elikon "no number" serials
http://www.ussrphoto.com/Wiki/default.asp?WikiCatID=74&ParentID=1&ContentID=922&Item=Elikon+2
Elikon-2 serials

From the serail numbers you can make some idea how many were made, for example here:
Serial #9184808
Serial #9184999
Serial #9185422
Serial #9186757
All serial are pretty close to others, and from 4808 to 6757 is 1909 cameras. Most likely not two hundred but more likely at least two thousand?

Best regards,
Juhani

There's another variation of Elikon-1, it's without the Flash attachment. I'll post it later if you're interested.

Cheers,
