andrew_spence1 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Guys i did this restoration 3 years ago in October and November 2015 i should have posted them then sorry about the delay and the dodgy back grounds from that time. Ive just done a list of my restorations but most havnt got the finished restoration photos yet This was just a clean up and repainting job and usual shutter and lens service Just a few months ago before Christmas 2018 i got a case for this camera on ebay The secret is just to look for cases regularly and something will pop up for some camera you have. The paint is car engine cylinder head paint it dries to a very uniform satin finish and is white spirit based I found this camera in a junk shop in Belfast after a friend tiped me off about it and bought it for i think £15, the poor thing looked so sad but its another thats been saved and its a lot happier now all comments welcome I think ill polish the leatherette i think it would look better OOps...just checked it and its polished already....dont remember doing that regards Andrew Edited March 23, 2019 by andrew_spence|1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendunton Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I have a Zeiss Ikon Ikonta, little brother of the Super. I had to give mine a deep clean and polish. I bought mine for just under £20 inc case last year. A real pocketable MF camera.

andyfalsetta Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Great job rejuvenating a lost "soul". I've done three Super Ikonta 532/16 over the last year. One for a good buddy of mine and two for myself. In fact one of the two was a parts camera thathe gave me to use as a donor for a better top cover and knobs for his.. After finishing his I looked at the donor and realized it had hope. After servicing the lenses and helicoid, the shutter, and dialing in the rangefinder, its become my go-to rangefinder. I simply love these old Zeiss Ikons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
