Zeiss Ikonta 524/2
Picked this up from Melton Mowbray Bar Boot last Sunday.
It was market at £50.00.
There was a displaced shutter blade, so I offered him a Tenner.
Got it for £15.00 in the end.
2 halves of shutter were loose, easy fix, took a lot of flooding to get the escapement going again though.
All working nicely now.
It is an uncoupled Rangefinder.
Seems to be working well!
It is a coated lens, few cleaning marks, how would this be with colour film?
(I have a fridge full of out of date colour 120)

Glad you resurrected it. Look forward to seeing some shots now - of and by the camera.

Nice find & fix 
).
Should be as good with colour as the condition of the expired film allows - I regularly shoot colour in my 120 folders, even those with uncoated lenses (obviously, shielding if necessary to avoid glare from incident light
).

Yes, no problems with color film. Should perform nicely with that. My experience with out of date film is that it can be necesary to grade the ISO lower (exposure longer) 1 or 2 stops. You have to experiment with that.
