What it is

{"overview":"The Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta IV is a folding medium-format rangefinder camera using 120 roll film. Condition drives value strongly: clean, working examples with accurate rangefinder coupling and clear optics sell for more, while cosmetically tired or sticky-shutter bodies drag the price down. Buyers should note the sales figures reflect wholesale auction hammer levels rather than dealer retail, so a serviced example from a specialist will typically cost more than these figures suggest.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows carefully for pinholes by shining a torch inside in a dark room, as replacements are scarce. Check that the rangefinder patch is visible and that the focus coupling moves the front cell smoothly, and fire the shutter at every speed to listen for sticky slow speeds — a common fault on older leaf shutters.

Questions

Is the Super Ikonta IV a good buyer's camera at current prices?

At these price levels it offers medium-format imagery in a pocketable folder, but the value depends heavily on the bellows, shutter and rangefinder being in working order, since servicing costs can exceed the purchase price.
