Zeiss Ikon Ideal 250/3

{"overview":"The Zeiss Ikon Ideal 250\/3 is a folding plate camera produced by Zeiss Ikon in the early twentieth century. With only one wholesale saleroom result on record, today's market value is best treated as indicative rather than firmly established, and condition, completeness of the lens\/shutter assembly, and bellows integrity will heavily influence what any given example is worth.","buying_guide":"On folding plate cameras of this vintage, the most common faults are pinholed or split bellows, sticky or inaccurate shutter speeds, and haze or separation in the lens. Inspect the bed and struts for rigidity, check that the ground glass and any plate holders are present, and confirm the shutter fires across all marked speeds.
