The Ikoflex II (851/16) is a TLR camera that was made by Zeiss Ikon from 1936 onwards. Confusingly, it was renamed Ikoflex 1 or Ikoflex I (850/16) in 1939, replacing the original Ikoflex I (coffee can model)[1]. It created 6x6cm negatives (or slides) on 120 film.

The earlier Ikoflex II's have a focus lever on the left side of the body. This was replaced by a focus knob on later ones.


Specifications

  • Taking lens: Carl Zeiss Jena, or Zeiss-Opton T (coated), Tessar, or Trioplan, 75mm, f/3.5. (10 aperture blades).
  • Viewing lens: Teronar-Anigstigmat f/3.5
  • Focusing range: 3 feet 6 inches to infinity.
  • Shutter: Zeiss Ikon Compur-Rapid, T/B/1s - 1/500s or Prontor 1-1/300s.
  • Double-exposure prevention, because the film-advance knob must be wound on before firing. If the film counter has reached past 12, the shutter will also not fire.
