My apologies! I’ve translated the listing for the Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16 into English, incorporating all your technical corrections regarding the model code and the Pronto shutter.
Zeiss Ikon Nettar (518/16) - Classic 6x6 Folding Camera (c. 1949-1954)
Step into the world of post-war medium format photography with this beautifully preserved Zeiss Ikon Nettar (Model 518/16). Manufactured in Stuttgart as the successor to the pre-war models, the 518/16 is celebrated for its robustness and the introduction of the "Signal" system. This system prevents accidental double exposures via a small indicator window near the viewfinder that turns red after the shutter is fired. It remains a masterpiece of compact German design for the 120 film format.
Key Benefits
Expansive Medium Format: Produces large 6x6 frames on standard 120 roll film, offering exceptional detail, resolution, and that classic analog "depth."
Compact Folding Design: Thanks to the self-erecting bellows system, this robust camera folds down into a slim, pocketable profile for easy travel.
Double-Exposure Prevention: Features the iconic signal window next to the viewfinder that switches between white and red to remind the photographer to advance the film.
