Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta

[Durr3]

I have a nice Super Ikonta and would like to find a leather case for it. Any suggestions?

thanks

They are hard to find. Occasionally, they show up on ebay.
Manfred Schmidt has several for sale (please google him).
I'm still looking for one for my Super Ikonta A. None available so far.

My original one came from the UK, and I had to discard it upon arrival because of mold. The UK is a very damp country. The camera and lens were fine though.

Could try www.certo6.com, I got my Super Ikonta from there with a case.

I should add that the cases have leather straps attached. These are not to be relied upon! I usually cut them off with a strong pair of scissors. Nylon straps with the loop end can be anchored to the remaining brass rivet on the case for security.

The cases often need restiching. I go to a local shoemaker for this.

My case has a strap, and yes, it does not inspire confidence, but I gave it a good pull and seemed OK. However, I'd be tempted to replace it at some point.
