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(I have a fridge full of out of date colour 120)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 My experience with out of date film is that it can be necesary to grade the ISO lower (exposure longer) 1 or 2 stops.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.
