The Ikoflex III (853/16) is a TLR camera that was made by Zeiss Ikon from 1939 till 1940.
It creates 6x6cm negatives (or slides) on 120 film.
This was Zeiss Ikons attempt to equal and even surpass the Rolleiflex of Franke & Heidecke.
The Filmtransport is carried out with a crank. It has a fancy Albada Sportsfinder and the Tessar has a large 1:2.8 aperture, a full stop larger then contemporary models of the competition.
