The Ikoflex II (851/16) is a TLR camera that was made by Zeiss Ikon from 1936 till 1951. Confusingly, it was renamed Ikoflex 1 or Ikoflex I (850/16) in 1939, replacing the original Ikoflex I (coffee can model)[1]. The name Ikoflex II was given again to another camera in 1939, the model 852/16.
It creates 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 the later Ikoflex I. Another difference is the eye-level sport finder which the Ikoflex II has but was abandoned with the name change to Ikoflex I.
