Key Details

  • Manufacturer: Zeiss Ikon, a classic German camera maker.
  • Model: The 518/16 is also known as the Nettar IIb.
  • Lens: It is equipped with a Novar-Anastigmat 75mm f/4.5 lens, which is a coated triplet lens design known for being quite sharp when stopped down.
  • Shutter: The camera has a leaf shutter, typically offering speeds like bulb (B), 1/25th, 1/50th, 1/100th, and 1/200th of a second.
  • Features: This is a zone focus camera, meaning focus is estimated using a scale on the lens barrel, as it lacks a built-in rangefinder. A key feature of the "Signal Nettar" version is a circular indicator on the top plate that prevents double exposures.
  • Collectibility & Use: These cameras are popular among film enthusiasts for their compact, durable design and good image quality for their price point, especially for landscape photography.
