RARE VINTAGE 1936 ZEISS IKON NETTAR 515/2 FOLDING CAMERA WITH GENUINE LEATHER CASE - INCLUDES SHUTTER RELEASE CABLE
AN EXTREMELY RARE COLLECTORS ITEM WHICH IS TO THIS DAY IS IN MARVELOUS CONDITION AND EVEN INCLUDES ITS ORIGINAL SCREW ON/OFF SHUTTER RELEASE CABLE (Usually unheard of if the camera can be found)
THE ZEISS IKON NETTAR 515/2 WAS A FOLLOW-UP AND SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT OF THE ZEISS IKON NETTAR 510, WHICH BOTH USE 6 x 9 ROLL FILM. I BELIEVE THE 515/2 WAS RELEASED IN 1936. THE LENS STANDARD HAS PROVISION TO FIT AN OPTIONAL BRILLIANT FINDER AND ALTHOUGH I DO NOT HAVE FILM TO TEST THIS ITEM, I SEE FROM RESEARCH ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHY IT SHOULD NOT FUNCTION PERFECTLY
THE LENS IS A NETTAR ANASTIGMAT 1.4.6 WITH 1 = 11cm (cm were used before 1945 and mm after). THE CAMERA HAS TWO VIEWFINDERS - A BRILLIANT FINDER AT FRONT WHICH CAN BE TURNED FOR PORTRAIT OR LANDSCAPE FORMATS....AND A DIRECT VISION FINDER ON THE SIDE WHICH IS TWO FOLDABLE OPEN FRAMES. THE CAMERA IS DESIGNED TO USE ORTHOCHROMATIC FILM WHICH IS NOT SENSITIVE TO RED LIGHT WHILE PANCHROMATIC FILM CAN ALSO BE USED
"GOERTZ, CONTESSA-NETTAL, ICA and ERNEMANN COMBINED UNDER THE AEGIS OF THE CARL ZEISS FOUNDATION TO FORM ZEISS IKON IN 1926"
STAMPS/MARKS ETC : THE GENUINE LEATHER CASE IS ORIGINAL BUT NOT MARKED. THE CAMERA HOWEVER HAS ALL THE NECESSARY MARKING OF ZEISS IKON NETTAR FROM THE MANUFACTURER
