Sold Ikonta 524/2 6 X 9 folder with Novar 105/3.5 lens. Fully working

[Simon Benton]

Selling my good condition Ikonta 524/2 6 X 9 folder with Novar 105/3.5 lens. Glass is in fine condition with a few cleaning wisps and the usual dust specks. Shutter fires on all speeds and to my ear and from photographs I have taken they are accurate. Bellows are supple and I can see no pinholes and photos i have taken have no fogging. Focusing is smooth and range finder is clear and accurate. Shutter and aperture blades open and close smoothly and are oil free. Previous owner engraved their name on top plate and if your name is CB Robinson this is your camera. I just exposed a roll of PanF and negatives are shown here. Camera opens and close smoothly. These are fine cameras, portable and easily carried in a jacket pocket.

SOLD. $120.00USD OBO plus $20 shipping to Canada and USA. SOLD

Simon- the funny thing here is that my brother-in-law is Brian Robinson, but he would not know what the device is.
Many of the Novars were made by Hensoldt, and I even have Super Ikonta VIs with them.
Stopped down to f8 or better f11the results can be indistinguishable from the Tessars. Mark

Mark - I just returned from Halifax and will be returning November 16th after our house sale closes to spend the Christmas season with my daughter and look for a house. I am making a series of 4 X 10 photos of the Peggy's Cove area throughout the 4 seasons - love the area and the sea.

Is there still such a thing as a pm?

Yes, there is, but it’s called a “Conversation”

Offers welcome. Great little camera giving large 6 x 9 negatives.

Good day Mr Simon, a PM sent -I'd like to buy and use your camera here in the nature of South Florida. Maybe it can also be used to defend v alligators as I do walk in knee deep waters...

My aunt is in Truro, don't know if you're up in Canada.

Hi

PM sent to you. I am indeed in Canada and know Truro well and in fact was there 2 weeks ago. My youngest daughter went to Dalhousie pre vet in Truro for 2 years and 4 years in Charlottetown PEI for her DVM.
