AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful and rare ICA ORIX 308 plate camera in the large 10x15 cm format, made by ICA (Internationale Kamera Aktiengesellschaft) in Dresden in the period 1914–1926. A wonderful piece of early German camera history: ICA later became part of the merger that would lead to Zeiss Ikon, which makes this model even more interesting for collectors.
This ORIX 308 is supplied with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 1:4.5 (Carl Zeiss Jena no. 618275). The Tessar is an iconic lens design, beloved for its classic rendering and pleasing sharpness. With this type of camera, the lens is screwed loosely onto the camera, as was customary at the time—a nice detail that underscores the authentic handling feel of an early plate camera.
Given its age, the camera is in good condition for its year. Note: the camera has not been tested further.
