I'm looking for a 6 x 6 folder. I have a Zeiss Ikon Nettax, but that's no RF. I found a nice looking Zeiss Ikonta III with a Novar 75 mm lens. It seems in excellent shape. Unfortunately, I'm not well versed in these cameras and have no idea on what I should expect to pay for a decent one. Anybody...?

(not sure this is really large format, but . . .)
As an introduction,you might consider the Russian reincarnation of the Super Ikonta, the Moskva (MOCKBA). It's available at $75 to $100. I's a 6x9 really but it has a workable RF and a 6x6 mask. It folds up the size of a paperback book.

I have a clean super Ikonta with a stuck shutter.
If you want to try a repair / CLA adventure, PM me...

i guess it's a SUPER ikonta III, Huub?
In that case it's quite a good camera. The lens is not sharp in the corners wde open (actually it is quite soft) but stopped down a bit can produce some quite decent shots. Ad i must say i got some 3D-looking images that are unbelievable and i could not repeat them with any other camera i handled. Don't know the secret...
Yes i have the same super ikonta III with a novar anastigmat 75/3.5 coated lens. I payed 20 euro plus shipping within NL... had a somewhat stuck and out of alignment rf but it was very easy to realign and clean up a bit, now it's smooth and accurate
The only glitch...frame overlapping. When loading, remember to wind the film a bit more than indicated by the arrows on the paper backing.Like, a turn more. This way the takeup spool gets bigger in diameter and the frames will be very close but not overlap anymore.
This is ue to long time ago the spools were thicker a bit, and the mechanism does not "count" the film length but the turns of the knob. So with the same nr of turns and thinner spool it winds less film.

Pherdinand said:Sorry - the focus ring was stuck a bit not the rf, the rf was only horizontally out of alignment. And i was lucky with that price, very lucky.
here's one on fuji nph400 ("pro400h", lately). Maybe you recognize the location
Sorry I missed your post till now. Thanks for the overlapping frames warning. I'll remember that for when I get mine. I'm still looking for one.
That's an amazing shot! Beautiful OOF DOF and 3D indeed!!
Groet, Huub
