This is the highest spec’d version of this classic rangefinder camera. This quality German camera is finely finished in black lacquer, chrome and real leather.

This post-war version differs from previous models in that it has a coated Zeiss-Opton 3.5\/105mm Tessar lens. This camera produces a slightly higher contrast with a bit more saturated colors than the earlier versions. It’s very popular with artists, landscape photographers and collectors. That said, all Super Ikonta cameras are capable of producing very lovely photos and which model and lens you prefer is a subjective, artistic choice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eThis camera has been carefully \u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003eC\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eleaned, Lubricated and Adjusted. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe coupled rangefinder has been cleaned and it’s clean, bright and accurate.

(A legendary design with four elements in three groups.) It’s clean and clear. There are no scratches, no cleaning marks and it’s capable of producing very lovely photos with modern color and B\u0026amp;W films.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eIt comes complete with a lovely Zeiss-Ikon brown leather case \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eAll in all, a wonderful classic camera.
