Rare Zeiss Ikon 6x6 B2 W/Zeiss Jena Tessar 80mm F/2. 8
Item History & Price
You're looking at a Zeiss Ikon Tessar 2.8 - 21/4x21/4 (6x6) vintage film camera. It uses 120 Roll Film which is still available.
I've owned this camera for almost 40 years having purchased it in Chicago early 80's. It's been in a low humidity smoke free environment the entire time. It has NO mold or has it ever had any inside or on the outside.
All of my vintage cameras get "exercised" several times per month; a run through the shutter speeds and f/stops. This helps the shut...ter spring mechanisms to stay lubricated.
I've shot with it over the years and it's a wonderful camera to use. All Shutter speeds/F-stops are working perfectly. Even though the bellows look a little worn there is no peeling and it is definitely light tight. The focusing wheel turns easily from closest focus to infinity with no drag or stickiness to it. The film advance and frame indicator function perfectly and smoothly. The lenses are clear with no fogging or scratches. It comes with the original case.
If you've been looking at these for anything other than sitting in a display case then THIS would be the one you want. I've been a pro photographer for decades and this is from my personal collection of working vintage cameras.
Thanks for looking and please email me with any additional questions you might have.
