ICA Volta Analogue camera

We present an elegant ICA VOLTA glass-plate camera, a piece of high mechanical engineering from the prestigious laboratories in Dresden of the early twentieth century. This model is distinguished by its sturdy metal-and-wood frame, clad in fine black leather, which houses a highly precise extendable bellows. The ICA VOLTA is equipped with a quality anastigmatic lens, mounted on a shutter that allows various manual adjustments and timed exposures. A notable feature of this exemplar is the sliding focus system on metal rails, which provides exceptional stability during use. The upper reflex viewfinder, adjustable for horizontal and vertical compositions, completes the functional design of this splendid folding camera. The polished metal details and the authentic patina of the leather bear witness to the history of a tool that accompanied photographers of the pioneering era. The ICA VOLTA is a highly sought-after brand among collectors for its historical significance, having been one of the founding companies of Zeiss Ikon. This exemplar represents a prestigious addition to any collection devoted to German antique photography, ideal both for display and as a technical study of the evolution of early-century glass-plate cameras.
