Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta IV, with f/3.5 75mm coated Carl Zeiss Tessar in Synchro-Compur Light Value scale shutter, 1 second to 1/500th plus B and delayed action. The camera features a coupled rangefinder and semi-automatic film winding. It produces 12 6x6 images in colour or monochrome on standard 120 film and is complete with leather ever-ready case. The camera is fully operational and has been tested with film with excellent results. Among the best results from any Tessar I have tested. Focusing movement is light and responsive and the meter is working. It has been tested against a Luna-Pro meter of known reliability and found to be accurate to within one stop. That may be due to the fact that in the 1950s film speed ratings were changed. The meter is easily adjusted to produce accurate results by setting it to the next faster film speed rating. As the photographs show, the camera is in excellent condition and bears all the hallmarks of light use. Enamel trim is wholly intact and the chrome is virtually unmarked. Bellows are sound and light tight. There was no case with the camera but I have provided one which is in reasonable condition. It has been repaired at the hinged portion and, possibly because of that, it is rather a tight fit, but is it usable and affords ample protection for the camera.
