Zeiss Ikon Ermanox 858/3

{"overview":"The Ermanox 858\/3 is a Zeiss Ikon plate camera from the early 20th century, descended from the Ernemann Ermanox line known for its fast fixed lens designed for available-light photography. Because the sample is so small, prices today can swing well above or below that mark depending on lens condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day, and the result reflects wholesale hammer level before buyer's premium rather than a dealer retail price.","buying_guide":"On any Ermanox-type plate camera the first things to inspect are the lens (glass clarity, separation, cleaning marks) and the shutter, since slow speeds on century-old leaf shutters are commonly sluggish or seized.
