artium elelgantium studium Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I recently purchased the above camera for use in PhD research. I am trying to track down some history on it and if possible a copy of the original instrcution manual in English. I have established it is pre-war manufactured for the North American & UK Markets. Please can someone help. Location: Auckland, New Zealand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h._p. Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 A quick google turned up http://homepage.mac.com/mattdenton/photo/cameras/z_ikoflex_1c.html http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/index-frameset.html?ZeissIkoflex.html~mainFrame http://home.sprynet.com/~stspring/Zeiss%20Ikon.html etc., etc. I'm no academic but if you can't manage that on your own I don't see much hope of your getting a PhD......

mike_elek Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Look under the lens panel. There might be a number, such as 85x/16. If there is a number, what is it? Also, which lens is used (bottom lens): Tessar, Triotar, Novar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artium elelgantium studium Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Thankyou, gentlemen. Courteous and friendly help is appreciated. The camera is PRE-WWII (or at least pre end of WWII). Has the image taking button, on top RHS front, beside the viewer. Front of camera lists frpm top: "Ikoflex"; view lense "Teronar-Anastigmat 1:3,5 f=75mm", name "Zeiss Ikon"; main lense "Novar-Anastigmat 1:3,5 f=75mm", LHS main lense - lever & indicator "X" or "M", RHS main lense lever "M", below main lense black lever..... Serial number: 675915 on camera base (have heard that it can be dated from the number). No other distinguishing marks. Thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
