The new Zeiss Ikon camera combines a classical design with easy-to-use operation. Features and controls are designed to make practical photography comfortable and free from unpleasant surprises caused by the camera. Manual or auto TTL exposure metering as well as an AE-lock function gives you complete control of the exposure situation. So that you can make best use of the entire system – from the film to the lens. Quite simply, you can count on a highly versatile creative tool that won’t let you down.

Unlike 35 mm SLR camera viewfinders, for example, that can only show little more than 90% of what will be recorded on film, the Zeiss Ikon viewfinder lets you see the area that surrounds the actual image giving you greater possibilities and confidence as you compose each image. What’s more, the triangulation rangefinder combined with a viewfinder base that is the widest available means that you can expect extreme accuracy and wide-angle focusing precision. All of this and more so that you can follow your passion: creating great images.

Many people prefer the road less traveled. The journey is more important. The opinions of the masses are irrelevant. They question the norm and do often the unexpected. The Zeiss Ikon Rangefinder Camera is the ideal photographic tool for these individuals, allowing maximum creativity with the freedom and intimacy of 35 mm rangefinder photography. Combining the ultimate refi nement in optical and mechanical possibilities, it literally pushes the limits of today’s film technology.

The Zeiss Ikon unites a traditional design with modern conveniences, for picture taking – without any surprises caused by the technology. It thus enables photographers to turn a creative idea for an image into a real picture. Equipped with the renowned M bayonet, this camera is the tool for optimum use of the ZEISS ZM lenses and is also compatible with all other lenses equipped with an M bayonet.
