gordon_yee Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) The serial number of your lens indicates that it was made in 1935: Carl Zeiss serial numbers - Camera-wiki.org - The free camera encyclopedia Your camera would probably be an Ikonta C which was made between 1934 and 1936: Pacific Rim Camera Photographica Pages Zeiss Ikon: Ikonta 530/2 (Ikonta C) Price Guide: estimate a camera value (collectiblend.com) Edited November 12, 2022 by gordon_yee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Thanks Gordon... I won'T say I understand the tghe series.. but I recently found this overview which helped. https://camerapedia.fandom.com/wiki/Zeiss_Ikon_Ikonta There was a Internet presence that had a spread sheet chart trying to make sense of the models... Years back I recall other people linking to his chart. Meanwhile.. I believe the site has disappeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
