Super Ikonta A - Zeiss Ikon - 1937/1950
My second collectible. I bought this camera in a flea market in Sao Paulo in a watches booth. It was really cheap. The price of two films 120. I had the Ikonta B from my wife's grand father and was attracted by the similarity. Looking closer I realized that there was something more: the small loupe that flips up was a focusing device. I said: yes, that is a good idea. Since the time I left the Olympus Pen EES2 to the Olympus OM 1n and Mamiya C330 I use to consider guessing distances as a thing of the past. It is a beautiful design and like other Super Ikontas it is difficult to believe, when it is unfolded, that it is possible to close it with everything inside. It is like a contortionist show every time. |
