MAXIMAR Model 207 |
*Année / year c.1926 The ICA "Maximar 207" is a German precision folding bed double extension bellows camera for 9 x 12cm on glass plates. Lens on this one is a Carl Zeiss lens marked "Carl Zeiss Jena nr 180832 Tessar 1:6,3F=13,5cm DRP" Compound shutter with speeds 1,2,5,25,50,100,250 ; ICA serial 371939 The viewfinder is also equiped with a spirit level. Rise and fall as well as side to side lensboard adjustments. This model seems to be an hibrid model as it has Carl Zeiss Jena lens but not the Zeiss Ikon mark on the front door. It was made probably circa 1926 when Ica merged with Contessa Nettel, Goertz, Ernemann to form the Zeiss Ikon company. These Ica Maximar are much less common than the Zeiss models. |

| IKONETTE 35 model 500/24 |
*Année / year 1958 A unique 35mm camera (for Zeiss) made of grey high impact plastic and metal (The front shell, top deck and film chamber are plastic, while the back, bottom plate, inner lens plate and subframe are die-cast and/or pressed metal). Body is curved into a kidney shape and a single lever on the front winds the film, advances the counter, and cocks the shutter on a long stroke. The same lever then releases shutter on a short stroke. Red flag appears in the viewfinder when the shutter is not cocked. Supplied with two-tone grey and blue plastic case with name on front (1256/24). Reportedly, the camera suffered problems with light leaks, so Zeiss gathered and destroyed many of them. Missing on this model : the round plate indicating speeds and distance around the lens.
