The Ikonette 25 is a 35mm viewfinder camera made by Zeiss Ikon in Germany, c.1958-60. It has an unusual grey curved body made of metal and plastic[1] with a large front-mounted combined shutter release and film advance lever.
Reportedly, Zeiss recalled and destroyed many Ikonettes due to light leaks[2]. There are also reports of the camera being marketed for women.
There were earlier models using the Ikonette name, using roll film.
