Zeiss Ikon Tropen Adoro 230/3 (Tropical)

{"overview":"The Zeiss Ikon Tropen Adoro 230\/3 is a tropical-model folding plate camera, with its body finished in polished hardwood and brass fittings rather than the leatherette covering used on standard Adoro variants. Tropical cameras of this kind were intended for use in humid climates, and the Adoro line was produced by Zeiss Ikon from the late 1920s. Cosmetically strong examples with original lens and holders sell for a clear premium over tired bodies.","buying_guide":"Inspect the teak or mahogany panels for cracks, lifting veneer, and insect damage, and check the brass fittings for pitting or replacement screws. Bellows on tropical folders are commonly brown leather and are prone to pinholes at the corners — back-light them before buying.
