Hi everyone. I was going through a box of camera equipment that mom collected over the years. Lots of stuff. Three cameras, the SRT201 that I learned on, a Miranda and... what's this, this is a name I recognize! A Zeiss Ikon.
It has some issues. Mainly the lens is off the front, which from what I can see is bad. I worked for an hour or more last night trying to figure how it originally attached. It looks like a screw-in mount, but I can't seem to figure how to make it line up. Then to make matters worse, the focusing ring came off the lens. Great.
Anyhow, the shutter seems to work, although I don't think it's working perfectly, which could have something to do with the fact that the lens isn't completely mounted. Mechanically everything else seems sound. It looks like it'd be a fun camera to mess around with if it works.
Is this camera even worth taking to a repair shop to get a quote on?
If anyone's interested, I'll post pics when I get home tonight.
