Iwonta Ikonta

[compur]

I recently found this Zeiss Super Ikonta 531 at an estate sale and bought it for peanuts. Great condition too.

Pocket size medium format (645 on 120) with rangefinder. Lens is 75/3.5 Zeiss T Opton-Tessar.

I wanted one 25 years ago, but before e-Bay, they were hard to find.

I've owned regular Ikontas before but this is my first Super. The Supers have rangefinders and best glass and they ooze build quality.

When I first got it I thought the rangefinder didn't work and I was trying to figure out how to access it for repairs. Then I found that little "magnifying glass" gadget hidden beside the lens and flipped it up. D'oh! The rangefinder works perfectly. Those sneaky Germans!
