Hello Alex, The Ikonta arrived a couple days ago. It’s a thing of beauty! I’m very pleased. Thank-you!
Sorry for the late acknowledgement a week ago today I was in surgery.
I looked at your website. It appears you specialize in much of what interests me in the photo equipment. I hope you continue and wish you every success

I received one postwar two weeks ago, a bit skin spoiled but good lens, need to do the service and test… and one with Xenar also post war is on my way. One of them will end in this section.
I will do a test comparing the three of them if I have time.

So long as the lens is good I don’t mind the spoiled skin. Please let me know ! Goodluck with the sale on this one!

Why are post war preferable?

Why are post war preferable?

Sometimes it’s a matter of taste, in the sense that you prefer coated vs uncoated lens.

For me, what I like from each model would be:
530 - I prefer winding with right hand.
530 - Better viewfinder, usually cleaner because of the mirror coating deterioration of the 531.
531 - I prefer one ruby window only, this is when they added the numeration from 1 to 16 I think.
531 - Folding the viewfinder with one movement.

It’s gonna be interesting having the uncoated Tessar, the coated Opton Tessar and the coated Xenar at the same time.

These lenses could also be found on Rolleicords/Rolleiflexes, right?

 

[Alex Varas]

Yes.

The 532/16 has been sold, I changed the tag in that one and reverse this one, still for sale the 530.
Confusing this Zeiss names, thank you for the reminder of the tag, Matt.
