What it is

The Zeiss Ikon Icarette 512/15 is a folding roll-film camera produced by Zeiss Ikon, the German manufacturer formed in 1926 from the merger of ICA, Contessa-Nettel, Ernemann and Goerz. The Icarette line was positioned as a compact folding camera for amateur photographers in the inter-war period.

On any pre-war Zeiss Ikon folder, inspect the bellows for pinholes, check that the shutter fires at all marked speeds without sticking, and confirm the lens is free of haze, fungus and separation. Service support is limited to independent specialists, and original cases or instruction booklets can lift the value of an otherwise average example.

Questions

Is the Icarette 512/15 a usable camera?

As a folding roll-film camera it can still be used if the bellows are light-tight and the shutter speeds are accurate, but a service is often needed before reliable shooting.
