The 530/16 is a folding camera in the Ikonta line, produced by the German company Zeiss Ikon.
It takes 11 size 6x6 cm images on 120 type rollfilm. The Super Ikonta's are equiped with coupled rangefinders.
It was also sold as the Super Ikomat B 21/4 x 21/4

This Super Ikonta model has an automated film transport stop and counting mechanism.

The unusual number of frames, 11 instead of the standard 12, is caused by a design change which Zeiss Ikon made to encounter the frame overlapping problems which were experienced with the earliest cameras.
