Bright exposures alive with all the details, lovely colors and rich tonal range that only medium format can provide. When it comes to photography, bigger is better and this camera can produce a large negative that’s more than four times larger than the average 35mm snapshot. The real appeal is that all of this is produced by a camera that folds up into a very small package. So whether you're interested in fine grain, rich tonal values or lovely colors, this vintage camera is a fine companion and its compact size will never give you a reason to leave it at home. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eThis camera looks virtually new and it’s a very fine example of the Ikonta 521-16, which Zeiss-Ikon first introduced in \u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003e1938 produced until 1953\u003c\/span\u003e. \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIt was a high quality 6x6 camera capable of producing lovely photos.
