What it is
{"overview":"The Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta BX (reference 533\/16) is a folding medium-format camera shooting 6x6 frames on 120 roll film, fitted with a coupled rangefinder and an uncoupled selenium exposure meter in the top housing. Shutter speeds should be exercised on all settings, and the front standard struts should lock firmly without play.

Questions
Does the selenium meter affect the value?
Yes — a responsive meter adds a meaningful premium, because selenium cells degrade with light exposure over decades and a dead cell cannot practically be replaced, so buyers price working-meter bodies noticeably higher.
