Description from the seller
An iconic German medium-format folding camera from the heyday of the German camera industry is being offered: the Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta 531.
This camera is a fine representative of the craftsmanship for which Zeiss Ikon was renowned worldwide. The design exudes technical precision and elegance: chrome details, leather covering, and the characteristic bellows mechanism give this camera an authentic appearance.
State & operation
- The camera has not been tested for proper operation.
- Sell as a collectible object or decorative item.
- Given the age, time has obviously done its work; normal signs of use appropriate to the age are present.
- Optical and mechanical operation have not been checked.
Despite its age, this is a particularly beautiful specimen that instantly enhances the ambiance of a room, study, office, or display cabinet. It is also very well suited as a decorative object for photography- or film-related settings.
Historical context
The Super Ikonta series was known for its high-quality finish and use of medium format film (6x4.5 cm). In its time, this was an advanced instrument for serious photographers. Today it is primarily a tangible piece of photographic history from Germany.
Note: The photos are an integral part of this auction and provide a good indication of the object's condition.
A wonderful opportunity for the collector of classic cameras or the enthusiast of vintage design.
