Ikonta 521 

sie macht ja noch einen recht guten Eindruck.

hatte heute morgen die ersten testfilme geholt. der sucher scheint etwas nach unten zu "schielen".
beim verschluss hängen die langen zeiten (1 sek und 1/2 sek) sonst ist alles in ordnung!

Schönes Teil!

Those oldtimers were sure full of character, and the Zeiss lens were pretty dang good too...;-)

true. that´s why i can´t resist... but with this framefinder shooting of portraits is very hard... to match the object in the right position to get a good result is difficult and you earn a lot of surprises ;)

Use a low ASA, or ISO I guess these days, and allow a little room to crop...best solution I could come up with. I used to take a piece of frosted glass and put it in the film plane and then compare to the finder, at least it seemed to help me get a little closer...lol. But you know all that.

thats the way... with this negative size it has enough space for cropping.
thanks for the hint with frosted glass - i just forgot to check it out! ;) *sometimes very slow mind*
now i know all that, LOL

Wow, beautiful old camera. Looks like fun to work with.

it is fun! :)

Feine Alltags-Ikone!

I would love one of these
