Zeiss Ikon Camera Case

Anyone have one? Is it real leather?

 

[tlitody]

no I don't have one. Its says real high quality leather at their site:

but leather encourages lens fungus and those flip forward camera cases have a habit of appearing in images. Should get nice bokeh from something that close though.😀

It's sure ugly! 😱

Gosh, I kind of like it.

real leather, the bottom part makes a difference for grip
the upper part appeared couple of times in my vertical shots
won't fit the 85/2 lens in it so i got optech neoprene for protection

I had the impression that it was made to fit the Sonnar 85mm f/2.0 lens as well.

Cheers,

Literature says up to 50mm lens size.

I have one. They're nice soft leather , with a velvet inside. The top part pulls off very quickly, in case you want to to take a series of vertically framed shots without the cover dangling in front of the lens. The bottom part forms a nice snug half case. I have one in top condition -virtually mint - with the original factory box and packaging, which I want to sell for a reasonable amount. It came with my ZI.

Cheers

Is it me, or does it make the Ikon look slightly porcine?

 

[hellomikmik]

yes, same material i guess - porc skin

Bah, too 1980's. Why can't they make cases as they used to, of brown thick leather?

Hello,

I wanted it and I got it !
I find it nice and useful when carrying the camera in a lugagge instead of a camera bag.
When carrying the camera at shoulder, using only the half-case part may help to be ready to shoot in good conditions.

Cheers.
