This is a very rare Zeiss Ikon Baby Ikonta (Ikomat) 520/18 with a Tessar 5cm F4.5 lens in Compur 1-300 shutter. 98% of these had Novars in Derval shutters since this camera with a Tessar cost more than one of the bigger Ikontas. the serial number puts it at late 1931. A very nice piece from my collection but I don't need the three I've found the last 40 yrs. I just cleaned the lens inside and out and checked the infinity stop. There is a tiny bit of haze left but not enough to mes...s up the pics. The shutter is ok on T, B, 25, 50, 100 & 300 but 1, 2, 5 & 10 fire at 1/25. This is correctable if you have good eyes and two hours to kill. I'll include a roll of Efke 100ASA 127 dated 2000 but in my fridge since I bought it. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
