This little folder is a real gem. Incredibly small for a medium format camera: with the bellows folded in, it measures
12x9x4cm. Opening it up extends it to 12x9x9. The size might be small but it's no light weight camera (590g). Still
you can fairly comfortably carry it in a coat pocket. The optics (Zeiss Tessar) produce excellent results but due
to the age of the camera, there's no coating (not really a problem with b&w). Front element focus from 1,2m but no range
finder (was available on the SuperIkonta range). The camera has a double exposure prevention mechanism. This unit seems to have seen very little action, since it's in appearance is almost like new. I've had it since 2002 and I expect it to be a regular companion on my trips. |
