Got Another Folder - Zeiss Super Ikonta A MX

[Colorado CJ]

I just received another little folding rangefinder, a Zeiss Super Ikonta A MX, the last 6x4.5 folder Zeiss ever produced.

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package to find a MINT example inside a MINT leather case. I though the last Super Ikonta I bought was in good condition, but this one looks new!

So now I have a dilemma, which tiny 6 x 4.5 folder to use as my every day medium format camera, this new Zeiss, or my Konika Pearl II? It's a nice dilemma to have

Here are a few photos of the two together.

That is a nice dilemma, Congrats! And a beautiful example of that camera too. I have two Zeiss 645s and one is a Super. Really handy and fun to shoot with.

Another congratulations is in order. The build quality alone of the Super Ikonta A MX makes it a keeper. Definitely, post some images once you run some film through the camera.

Based on the looks and operation, I'd shoot the konica, and now that I know they exist, here I am looking for them online. Thanks
