1937 Serious Compact Camera

    Yesterday, I had a discussion with my friend -a man who spent more than 50 years of his life doing nothing but fixing and making folding cameras- about compact cameras. We began our conversation with the Leica D-Lux 4, which led us to the Rollei 35 series, Minox series and ended up with this 1937, 6×9 folding Zeiss Ikon - Nettar 515/2.

    By the time we decided to grab some dinner, it was almost midnight. I didn't realize that it could take 6 hours for two men to talk over some cameras.

      Love these old folders. I've got an Agfa Isolette that I don't use anywhere near as much as I should. That hasn't stopped me lusting after a 6x9 Zeiss though............
