Die schönste doppeläugige Kamera aus gutem Hause, die Ikoflex III (1939)

#diamantakis #studioanalog #ikoflexiii In the battle of the giants on the market for twin-lens reflex cameras, Zeiss Ikon set the bar high with the Ikoflex III in 1939 and clearly overshadowed arch-rival Rollei. The Ikoflex III, a gusto piece for every camera lover, is not stingy with its attributes. A large camera that still weighs less than 1 kg due to its light metal construction. The lens is a Tessar 2.8. Film advance allows simultaneous shutter release and double exposure lock. The optical viewfinder corrects for parallax and a Compur Rapid shutter enables speeds of up to 1/400 second. Of course, all of this had its price. The Ikoflex III fetched a retail price of 320 Reichsmarks, while the Rolleiflex, which was in the same category, was available for 240 Reichsmarks. 00:00 Introduction 00:20 Historical background 02:59 Ikoflex III 06:04 Closing words Other informative links on the Ikoflex III: https://www.collection-appareils.fr/x... https://www.cameramuseum.de/0-fotocam... The "Diamantakis" collection includes around 4,000 exhibits from the fields of photography and cinematography, including numerous exhibits from the Eumig company. Now she is looking for publicly accessible rooms for a museum to document the history of photo and film development in detail. The greatest possible flexibility is ensured when choosing the location.
