Where to service a pre-war Zeiss Super Ikonta?

Jesper · Feb 25, 2025

I’ve acquired a Zeiss Super Ikonta 531 from 1937 in beautiful condition cosmetically but it is in need of some CLA. Long exposure times are way too long, the aperture is stiff and the lens is slightly fogged.

I’m wondering if anyone knows of a place to service it, preferably in Sweden but at least within the EU (I don’t want to bother with customs)?

Another vote for Alex Varas, I had the 531/16 serviced by Alex few months ago, the camera came back as healthy as it was new. Alex had done an excellent job.

Thanks, I will contact Alex and see what can be done.

Thank you all for the recommendation.

The camera is now back from service and the first roll has been developed with great result. I can highly recommend Alex Varas services.

Thank you, Jesper!
Happy the camera is doing well, these Super Ikontas are a joy to work on them.
