Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta, code 531/2, with f/4.5 105mm Jena Tessar in flash synchronised Compur shutter speeded 1 second to 1/250th plus B and delayed action (self timer). The camera produces eight 6x9 images in colour or monochrome on standard 120 film. By means of the removable mask, it can also produce 16 6 x 4.5 images. The camera is complete with its original leather ever-ready case in the same excellent condition as the camera. The camera is fully operational and has been tested with film with excellent results. The coupled rangefinder is clear and accurate and the bellows are sound. The viewfinder is a tad dim because of yellowing of the perspex within the viewfinder, but it is usable. That is to be expected as standard with this model. The camera is unusual in two respects. First, it is complete with its original 16-on removable mask. In the vast majority of cases, the mask is missing. The 16-on 120 image using the mask with the 105mm lens produces an excellent perspective for portraits. Secondly, the camera is flash synchronised. This is a later addition. It was common practice in the 1940s and 1950s for amateurs to have this done and there were many excellent firms in the United Kingdom who could carry out the modification. Alas, they are just about all gone. Britain's last firm carrying out lens polishing and coating read more
