1937 a Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta A (531) extremely rare intermediate 530/531 model with actual frame format 5.7x3.8cm with film aspect ratio 3:2 and Tessar 7cm lens. This is a high-quality, folding rangefinder camera well known all over the world for their excellent lens and durable construction. This collectible camera has the unique engraving 'for Manchoukuo', because it was also used there during the existence of this region (1(contact info removed)) when it was under Japanese influence. Film used: Type 120 roll film, 16 images per roll. Lens: Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 7cm f/3.5. Frame format 5.7x3.8cm with film aspect ratio of 3:2. Shutter: Compur-Rapid leaf shutter with 1 to 1/500th second speeds and Bulb. Focusing: Precision coupled rangefinder with a wedge type focusing mechanism. Viewfinder: Direct optical viewfinder with parallax-compensating frame. Accidental double exposure is impossible thanks to the shutter release lock mechanism. Excellent working and cosmetic condition. It has been in my 65-year-old collection. You won't have to spend any extra money on repair, cleaning, restoration, shutter repairs, LCA and rangefinder adjustment. Nowadays it is very difficult to buy such a camera anywhere and moreover in such perfect condition. Not only can you photograph with this splendid camera, but it will also enhance any collection of rare cameras because it works wonderfully and looks amazing. You can start taking photographs immediately after purchase.
