During WWII [[Hubert Nerwin]] thought about a new [[35mm]] folder. The result of his thoughts were developed after the war as [[Zeiss Ikon]]'s first completely new postwar product, made since 1948 as '''[[Ikonta]] 522/24'''. The model was continued in 1953 as Contina, as one of the first cameras of the new '''Contina''' series of [[35mm]] [[viewfinder camera]]s (one was a [[rangefinder camera|rangefinder]]) made in Germany by [[Zeiss Ikon]]. The first models were [[folding|folders]], later models were rigid. Some had linked shutter/aperture rings, using the [[Light-value system]]. The folding models had [[film advance| knob wind]], frame counter and rewind fitted to the bottom; the later ones had top-mounted 180° lever wind, knob rewind and frame counter around the shutter release. | During WWII [[Hubert Nerwin]] thought about a new [[35mm]] folder.

| Ikonta 522/24 by Alf Sigaro |
During WWII Hubert Nerwin thought about a new 35mm folder. The result of his thoughts were developed after the war as Zeiss Ikon's first completely new postwar product, made since 1948 as Ikonta 522/24. The model was continued in 1953 as Contina, as one of the first cameras of the new Contina series of 35mm viewfinder cameras (one was a rangefinder) made in Germany by Zeiss Ikon. The first models were folders, later models were rigid. Some had linked shutter/aperture rings, using the Light-value system. The folding models had knob wind, frame counter and rewind fitted to the bottom; the later ones had top-mounted 180° lever wind, knob rewind and frame counter around the shutter release.
