Zeiss Ikon Juwel 275/11 13×18 cm (5×7″) camera, no. 371939, fitted with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 21 cm f/4.5 lens in a Compur shutter.

The camera has had a full service (CLA).

Checked and serviced by EcoLabo Photo, a film photography workshop in Lyon. Ready to shoot. Very carefully packed and shipped with tracking and insurance.
Ansel Adams used this model: he owned a Zeiss Juwel 5×7, the equivalent of the 13×18 format, in the 1930s. He even wrote on the back of a print from that time: "This is the first good picture made with the Zeiss Jewel 5 x 7". The camera offered here is an example of the same model. It did not belong to Ansel Adams.
