Zeiss Ikon
« on: July 14, 2010, 12:41:11 PM »
Purchased at this years Photographica fair for the princely sum of £25.00 just before I went to Spain on holidays.

I will be spending some time in the darkroom this thursday hopefully to process the 8 rolls of B and W I took with it.

I think Ed may have taken some piccies of me with it when I bought it.

here is a shot of it in the Ordesa National park in the Spanish Pyrenees


Age can weary me when it can keep the hell up

Nice price!  They command a pretty high price here on both auction sites and at used camera shops - I've seen later models tip the scale at close to 1,000 USD (but are more often in the 500 USD range).  They take lovely photos.  looking forward to seeing them.

And it looks like it's in really good shape too.

Looks like a Super Ikonta, model A. It'll say Ikon on the cam, but the model A had the wrist strap, the standard ikon/ikonta didn't.  Nice find regardless.
