Help needed to date Zeiss Super Ikonta Camera

[andrew_bell]

I have just purchased a superb Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta 531 and I am

trying to date it. It has a 75mm Zenar lens and is 6x9 format.

It was sold as a camera made in 1948 but I think this would only be

correct if it was 6x4.5 format.

I would be very pleased to have any information and to hear from

other Zeiss Ikon collectors.

Somewhere out there is a site that actually has a model-by-model listing, with pics, but I can't seem to locate the link at the moment.

There's a moderatly active Yahoo group here:

Hope this helps. :) BTW, the 'Help and Feedback' forum is for help and feedback regarding the photo.net site, not cameras. You'll get a better response in future in the General forum.
