Zeiss Ikon Nettar + Novar-Anastigmat 75mm f/4.5

The Zeiss Ikon Nettar is a beautifully crafted medium-format folding camera, representing the pinnacle of German precision engineering from the mid-20th century. This model (likely the 517/16 or 518/16) produces large, detailed 6x6 square negatives on 120 roll film. Equipped with the respected Novar-Anastigmat 75mm lens, it is celebrated for its ability to capture images with a classic vintage character and smooth tonal transitions. Its robust folding design makes it surprisingly portable for a medium-format camera, allowing photographers to carry high-resolution capabilities in a compact form.

Key Features

  • Model: Nettar

  • Lens: Novar-Anastigmat 75mm f/4.5

  • Film Format: 120 Roll Film (6x6 Square)

Condition Used – Good condition This Zeiss Ikon Nettar has been inspected and is in good functional condition. The folding mechanism is solid and locks into place securely, and the bellows are light-tight. The Novar-Anastigmat lens is clear, and the shutter fires reliably at all settings. The aperture and focus rings move smoothly. The camera body shows light signs of use and a gentle patina consistent with its vintage status, while the included leather case has helped preserve its overall condition.

What’s Included

  • Zeiss Ikon Nettar Folding Camera (S/N: 5142HK44)

  • Novar-Anastigmat 75mm f/4.5 Lens

  • Original Vintage Leather Carrying Case

Expert Advice The Nettar is an excellent entry point into medium-format photography, offering the iconic 6x6 square format which is perfect for creative and architectural compositions. Because it is a fully mechanical camera, it is highly reliable and a joy to use for slow, deliberate landscape photography. For the sharpest results, we recommend using a tripod and stopping the lens down to f/8 or f/11. Since this camera does not have a built-in light meter, using a smartphone light meter app will help you achieve perfect exposures on every roll.
