The Zeiss Ikon Ikomatic viewfinder cameras were made by Bilora for Zeiss Ikon. Three versions were available: the Ikomatic CF for use with flashcubes, the Ikomatic F with connector and reflector for flash bulbs, and the Ikomatic A with automatic aperture and hot shoe. Two symbols (head, mountain) served for distance selection with the selector around the front lens.
