Just got one of these lovely beasts http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Ikonta_521/16 today for dirt cheap. Anyone else use these?
Any other folder camera shooters here?
I wish I had said that!I may have to joke and say it's like carrying an origami Hasselblad in my jacket LoL!
I have the Ansco Titan, which is like your Ansco you have pictured. Pretty much the same camera, but the Titan has a very colorful shutter faceplate. I had to replace my bellows since corner pin holes made it unusable. Most of the ansco cameras from the early 50's had this problem. I have other folders that do a better job in the picture department so the Titan has a spot on the shelf for now. JohnwI shoot with an Ansco Standard Speedex 90mm f/4.5 6x6cm folder and an Ansco Viking 105mm f/6.3 6x9cm folder.

there is a rangefinder version, and it's my favorite indeed http://www.120folder.com/certo_ssd.htm and my second most used is a 6x4.5, a pearl III http://www.120folder.com/pearl_iii.htmI used a Dolly Super Sport with a Zeiss lens for several years. It did not have a range finder but the lens was very very sharp.
