Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 520/18 (for China)

{"overview":"The Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 520\/18 is a folding medium-format camera produced by Zeiss Ikon, part of the prewar Ikonta family of self-erecting roll-film folders. With no recent saleroom activity to anchor a current value, the price a clean example would fetch today is uncertain and would depend heavily on condition, completeness and bidder competition on the day.","buying_guide":"On any prewar Ikonta folder, inspect the bellows for pinholes by shining a torch inside in a darkened room, check that the struts lock the front standard rigidly, and confirm the shutter fires at all marked speeds without sticking on the slow end.
