Rare 1929 Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 520-2 Folding Camera

Metal-bodied folding film camera with an optical lens.
This is the Ikonta 520/2, a folding camera released in 1929 by Zeiss Ikon.

Lens: Novar Anastigmat 10.5cm F6.3
Minimum/Maximum Aperture: F6.3 / F32
Shutter Speeds: B, T, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100
Exposure Meter: None
Format: 120 film, 6x9cm. One roll of NeopaSS black and white film is included. However, it's old film, so its usability is uncertain. It allows for 8 exposures.

Focusing Method: Guessing
Release Year: 1929 (Showa 4), a retro camera from almost 100 years ago.

How to Shoot: Adjust the distance by rotating the lens circumference to 2 to ∞. Adjust the aperture by setting the lower tab to the f-value. To release the shutter, press down on the tab located between ∞ and 10m (see photo). Film advance is done by rotating the rotating axis on the right side of the body, but advancing one frame at a time relies on estimation. However, the number of the frame appears in the red window on the back of the body.

This camera uses all of its functions with each shot (or rather, you can't take a picture without using them), so you'll get used to it quickly.

① Appearance: There are scratches, marks, and dirt, but the camera functions as intended.

② The lens shows almost no scratches or mold. It worked fine when I took pictures about 5 years ago, but I haven't tested it by loading film and developing it for this listing, so there may be oversights.

Because the mechanism is very simple, I don't think you'll have any trouble taking pictures.

Please purchase after understanding the photos and description.

Please do not purchase if you are looking for perfection.
