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]. 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 later ones.
