Description Offered is a classic Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16, a highly popular folding bellows camera produced in West Germany.

It remains a favorite among vintage medium-format enthusiasts for its elegant simplicity and robust build. This model is designed for 120 roll film, producing large 6x6 cm negatives prized for their detail and depth.
This specific example is equipped with the Novar-Anastigmat 105mm f/6.3 lens and a Vero shutter. The camera features a distinctive self-erecting bellows mechanism that allows it to fold down into a compact, pocketable form when not in use.
