The 35mm Nettax (Zeiss Ikon 538/24)
The first Nettax was a 35mm rangefinder camera introduced in 1936 as a cheaper alternative to the Contax II. It should have been called Super Nettel III, because it was a successor of the Super Nettel and Super Nettel II, but the Nettax name was preferred just before the release. Its Zeiss Ikon code number was 538/24. Unlike the Super Nettel, it was a rigid camera. The shutter was a focal plane model to 1/1000, the same as the Super Nettel, an intermediate design between the shutters of the Contax I and the Contax II. It had a short base coupled rangefinder, separated from the viewfinder window, and interchangeable lenses with a specific bayonet mount. The lenses incorporated a part of the rangefinder optics, like the lenses of the Tenax II. The very limited range of lenses was the following:
- Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm f:3.5 Tessar standard lens
- Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm f:2.8 Tessar standard lens
- Carl Zeiss Jena 10.5cm f:5.6 Triotar tele lens
- an adapter ring to mount the Contax mount Zeiss Tessar 2.8cm f:8 on the Nettax. This lens was not coupled to the rangefinder.
The Nettax was not a big success and is quite uncommmon. The tele lens is very rare, and today the price is high.
