What it is
{"overview":"The Zeiss Ikon Donata (227\/3) is a folding plate camera from the early-to-mid twentieth century, produced by the German manufacturer Zeiss Ikon. With only one data point on record, today's value, price, and what the camera sells for cannot be reliably bracketed, and any current worth would need to be confirmed against fresh comparable auction results.","buying_guide":"On any folding plate camera of this vintage, inspect the bellows for pinholes and light leaks, check that the shutter fires at all marked speeds, and confirm the lens is free of haze, fungus and separation.

Questions
Is the Donata (227/3) a usable camera?
It can be usable if the bellows are light-tight, the shutter is accurate and at least one matching plate or sheet-film holder is included; missing holders are the most common obstacle to actually shooting one.
