Ikonta info needed
Posted: Sun Apr 08, 2007 3:36 pmAt a recent flea market, I purchased an Ikonta for 5 dollars.
I have not been able to find any info on the internet on it. Facing the lens, it 'says' Zeiss Ikon on the left side, and on the back of the camera.
The rewind and advance knobs, as well as the frame counter are on the bottom of the unit. The lens folds out when opened (has no bellows), Lens speed from Bulb to 500, Aperture From 2.8 to 22.
Inscription inside the lens is - Tessar 1:2.8 f=45mm (a capital red 'T'),
Zeiss-Opton Nr 808415 (Serial Number of the camera is Y76428)
Below, on the lens it says Synchro-Compur. It has a single viewfinder, and a shoe for a flash. On top, there is also one knob for perhaps color/B&W?
The camera takes 35mm film, I have used it, the pics are incredible sharp.
If any one knows more info on this unit, please let me know.
