AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Zeiss Ikon bellows camera, model/type: Nixe 595/1. (Germany 1927).
The camera appears (in this version) to be fairly rare; it is at any rate offered little to none.
All parts/control mechanisms of the camera are in good working order; the 15 cm Tessar lens is scratch-free.
In appearance the camera is in very, very good condition, as is the bellows, which is light-tight.
The unique feature of the Nixe line was its ability to work with two different kinds of media:
• Roll film: Typically the camera produced large 8x14 cm (or 3 ¼" x 5 ½") exposures on roll film (the so-called "Postcard format").
• Glass plates / sheet film: By removing the roll-film back, a ground glass could be mounted for manual focusing. Then removable metal plate holders (size 9x14 cm) could be slid in to make photos on glass plates.
The camera is well packed and insured for shipping.
