What it is

{"overview":"The Zeiss Ikon Maximar 207\/3 is a folding plate camera from the German maker Zeiss Ikon, part of the medium-format plate-camera tradition of the early 20th century. Because hammer prices reflect wholesale levels rather than retail, buyers seeing dealer asking prices should expect a premium over comparable auction value once condition and completeness are factored in.","buying_guide":"On any folding plate camera of this age, inspect the bellows for pinholes by shining a light inside in a dark room, check that the shutter fires at all marked speeds without sticking, and confirm the ground-glass back and any plate holders are present and uncracked.

Questions

Is the Maximar 207/3 still usable?

As a plate-format folding camera it can still be used if the bellows are light-tight, the shutter runs accurately and suitable plate holders or a sheet-film adapter are available, but sourcing film and holders is the main practical hurdle.
