Description
The camera is officially referred to at the Zeiss Ikon Nettar model 515. While the Nettar range was made from 1937 through to the late 1950s, the 515 appears to be the first model and was manufactured by Zeiss Ikon (Dresden, Germany) between 1937 and 1940.
This medium format camera used 120 roll film producing 6 cm x 9 cm (2 ¼” x 1 ¾”) images. The camera featured a two frame viewfinder, a Nettar Anastigmat 1:4.5 ƒ7.5cm lens with Klio leaf shutter. Designed for serious amateur photographers, the Nettar series used many of the same components as the much more expensive Ikonta series (e.g. body and struts).
