Recent acquisition

[compur]

I bought this recently for about $50. It's a near mint Icarex made by the
merged Voitlander/Zeiss in the late 1960s. It's a beautifully made M42 mount
SLR with 50/1.8 Ultron lens (concave front element). The black version is
more rare than the chrome. It works perfectly and is a pleasure to shoot.

The reason I'm showing it off is I just saw this on eBay (not mine):
Zeiss Icon Voigtlander Icarex

Now, I'm torn between selling it and keeping it.

I just realized you're on apug.

That is a hell of a score :thumbup:

Awesome find, I'd be torn as well so I can understand.

That would certainly give me pause!

You could buy a Jobo for that.
