What it is

{"overview":"The Ica Polyscop (609, 6x13) is a stereo camera taking paired exposures on plates in the 6x13 cm format. Buyers should treat that lone saleroom price as historical context rather than a reliable guide to what the camera sells for now, and recognise that condition, completeness of plate holders, and shutter function will swing the value far more than headline averages suggest.","buying_guide":"Inspect the paired lenses for haze, separation and matched cleanliness, since stereo work depends on both sides performing identically, and test the shutter at all marked speeds for sticking blades. Check the body covering, viewfinder optics and any supplied plate holders or roll-film backs for completeness, as missing accessories are common on cameras of this age.
