Part of the esteemed Nettar series, this 515\/2 model captures large 6x9 cm negatives on standard 120 roll film, offering a level of detail and tonality that far exceeds 35mm photography. Its iconic \"self-erecting\" bellows design allows the camera to fold down into a compact, pocketable form when not in use. Equipped with a reliable manual shutter and the respected Nettar lens, this camera is a testament to the era of \"slow photography,\" where every mechanical click is intentional and rewarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eLarge 6x9 medium format negatives for incredible detail and beautiful enlargement potential\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eCompact \"folder\" design with high-quality light-tight leather bellows\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003eFully mechanical operation requiring no batteries—ideal for all-weather shooting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003eHigh-quality Zeiss Ikon Nettar lens offering a classic vintage rendering and soft bokeh\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\"\u003eBuilt-in pop-up optical viewfinder for simple and effective framing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\"\u003eTripod sockets and a cable release port for stable, long-exposure photography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Medium Format Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 120 Roll Film (6x9 cm images)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003eLens: Zeiss Ikon Nettar (Typical 105mm focal length)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003eShutter: Manual Leaf Shutter (Vario, Telma, or Pronto depending on exact year)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003eCategory: Cameras ▸ Medium Format Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\"\u003eBattery Type: No Battery Required (Fully Mechanical)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The Nettar series was Zeiss Ikon’s way of making medium format accessible, but the build quality remains exceptional. This specific unit (S\/N: X87832) represents the height of the folding camera era. What makes the 6x9 format so special is the 'cinematic' aspect ratio; it’s perfect for sweeping landscapes. Using a folder like this forces you to slow down, estimate your distance, and truly engage with the mechanics of light. It’s a tactile, analog experience that modern digital cameras simply cannot replicate, producing negatives that have a wonderful, soulful character.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The camera body (S\/N: X87832) shows normal signs of light use and minor paint wear on the edges consistent with its vintage age. The leather bellows are supple and light-tight. The lens is clear, free from fungus or significant haze. The shutter fires accurately at all speeds, and the folding mechanism opens and locks securely. The interior film chamber is clean and the pressure plate is in good order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003eZeiss Ikon Nettar Folding Camera (S\/N: X87832)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Zeiss Ikon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53866676617556,"sku":"A51W4339IP","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/IMG_2807_b6b45153-3a86-406a-9ac4-a2dfb1c40e6f.jpg?v=1772632342","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/nl\/products\/zeiss-ikon-nettar-515-2","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
