| Zeiss Ikon Colora - 1963 model |
The Zeiss Ikon Colora is a 35mm viewfinder camera made in Germany by Zeiss Ikon.
Contents
1961 model
The first model was introduced in c.1961, with a 45mm f3.5 Novar lens and a Pronto shutter.[1]
1963 model
The 1963 body shape is quite like contemporary models made by sister company Voigtländer, such as the Vitoret - with which it shares some parts. It was in production from 1963-1965. The Zeiss Ikon Colora F (1964-65) was similar, but with the addition of an AG-1 flash bulb holder in the top plate, hidden under the accessory shoe (and so also slightly taller to accommodate the flash battery).[2]
- Shutter: Prontor 125; speeds 1/30-1/125 + B, with X flash sync
- Lens: Novicar 50mm / f2.8, stopping to f22, focusing down to 1m
The shutter release is the grey plastic device on the front; under this is a cable release socket. The button on the top is the rewind release. The frame counter is in the base; it counts down, and must be manually set to the size of the film.
