What it is
{"overview":"The Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta is a folding medium-format roll-film camera, distinguished from the standard Ikonta line by its built-in coupled rangefinder. What a Super Ikonta is worth today depends heavily on which body size and lens fitment is present, and on shutter and bellows condition.","buying_guide":"The two items that most affect what a Super Ikonta sells for are the bellows and the rangefinder: check the bellows in a dark room with a torch for pinholes, and confirm that the rangefinder patch is visible and that the coupling moves the patch as the focus knob is turned. Shutters on these cameras often need a service because old lubricants stiffen the slow speeds, and the folding struts should lock firmly without play.

Questions
What affects the price of a Super Ikonta?
Bellows integrity, shutter accuracy, rangefinder function, and the specific body size and lens fitted are the main drivers of value; cameras needing a shutter service or with pinholed bellows sell at the lower end of the range.
