Zeiss Ikonta C/Zeiss Nettar

I would like to get a 6X9 camera and is forced to decide between an

Ikonta C or a Nettar. Anyone out there familiar with either of the

aforementioned bodies? Which one would be a better choice? I would

love to have a Fuji but I'm not willing to invest too much. Thanks.

I have a 6x9 Nettar which I take out occasionally as a sort of

"play" camera. The lens is surprisingly sharp and the exposure

controls are accurate (although I did have it lubricated and adjusted

after I found it at a garage sale). I don't think that I would want

one of these as my main camera however, because I find the focusing to

be a pain. There is no viewfinder-coupled focusing, and in some

situations this will bite you - depth of field in the wrong place,

etc.

That being said, it is fun to play with, and 6x9 negs or slides

are a wonder to behold. If you want any more information feel free to

e-mail me directly.
