Capture the Moment With Zeiss Ikon Cameras

Zeiss Ikon manufactured cameras and camera accessories for nearly 50 years, and their line of products includes several different cameras at various price points, which are influenced by the features you choose. On eBay, you can find many affordable Zeiss Ikon camera models at different prices with all types of features.

• Zeiss Ikon Contraflex - This is an iconic Ikon camera that was made by Zeiss Ikon for more than 30 years. There are many different models under this name, including the Contraflex SLR, which uses Kodak 126 cartridges.
• Zeiss Ikon Contessa - Some models of the Contessa are Zeiss Ikon folding cameras. There are other models that do not fold. Some models of the Contessa are rangefinder cameras, while others are viewfinder cameras.
• Zeiss Ikon Contina - This vintage Ikon camera is a compact 35mm viewfinder camera. It has a leaf shutter with a fixed lens. The camera takes vivid images that look artistic and complex, especially when taken by a vintage camera.
• Zeiss Ikon ZM - A Zeiss Ikon ZM offers purchasers a lightweight rangefinder camera.

Zeiss Ikon rangefinder cameras do not have reflex mirrors in the camera body. The viewfinder is on the side of the camera. When you use this camera, you do not through the lens. Instead, you are essentially looking through a window. While you do not get to see what your end picture will look like when you look through these cameras, they are lightweight and easy to carry. Viewfinder cameras, on the other hand, have the viewfinder located in the top of the lens. When you look out of a viewfinder camera, you see what the lens sees, which means that you have the ability to see what the picture is going to look like before you take it.

Zeiss Ikon folding cameras are some of the earlier models of cameras. These cameras fold for storage and expand for use. The Zeiss Ikonta was the main brand of folding camera from this manufacturer.

Although Zeiss cameras are vintage cameras, users report that they work as well as any camera on the market today. The picture quality from these cameras is high, and the images are vivid. While these cameras are collectors items, they are also working and highly functional cameras.
