<p>I have just acquired and old Icarette folding camera. I believe I have nailed the model down to a Junior 'D'. The body measures 8" x 3 1/2" x 1 1/2" and appears to shoot at 2 1/2" x 4 1/4".<br>
That was the easy part. Around the lens is labeled Zeiss Ikon and appears to have a Compur shutter rated to 1/250. Also at the top of the body in gold leaf is the label J. Lizars Glasgow, which I found to be a maker/distributor or cameras many years ago.<br>
The lens is giving me some difficulty as I can not seem to find any information. It is a labeled as "Preminar" 1:4,5 F=12cm. I can not seem to find any information on the lens.<br>
I am wondering if anybody has any more knowledge to add regarding any aspect of this camera. I am interested in finding out all I can about it. I also intend to put a roll of film through it as all appears to be working well and seemingly to be in great condition.<br>
<p>Thank you for any further help!</p>
If you had $5k - $6k for a camera outfit what would you get?

<p>Nobody cared to mention an Olympus system? E-3, 12-60mm and 50-200mm is the most weather sealed system, light weight, excellent IQ all for under $3000. This system isn't for everybody, but I feel it's an incredible outdoor enthusiast system.<br>
Something to consider anyways.</p>
