What I love about it is the Prontor-SVS leaf shutter—it is whisper-quiet compared to a typical SLR, making it an incredibly discrete tool for street photography. The 45mm Novar-Anastigmat lens captures scenes with a gorgeous vintage character, rendering subtle micro-contrast and a soft, pleasing depth of field that modern digital sensors just can't duplicate. It is an honest, fully mechanical instrument that doesn't need a single milliamp of battery power to operate. Paired with its original leather case, it’s a beautiful, reliable choice for any analog purist.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eZeiss Ikon\u003c\/b\u003e 35mm Compact Camera Body (with Fixed Novar-Anastigmat Lens)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eOriginal Zeiss Ikon Leather Ever-Ready Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eFitted Shoulder Carrying Strap\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eZeiss Ikon\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eContina \/ Ikorette Architecture (with Prontor-SVS)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Digital Compact Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Fixed Prime Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eFocal Length: 45mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eMaximum Aperture: f\/3.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0\"\u003eShutter Type: Prontor-SVS Leaf Shutter (B, 1s to 1\/300s)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,7,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
