A13 ZEISS IKON, Zeiss Ikon IKONTA 523/2, Fully Functional

Thank you for viewing!

I conducted real-world tests (using 35mm 135 film) and made exposure corrections repeatedly, a total of four times, because the photos were overexposed and the shutter speeds were slow. Photos 2-5 explain the exposure compensation.
The photos posted are scans of negative film. Prints from a camera shop will likely be automatically corrected and look beautiful.

The ⛵ Ikonta 523/2 is a folding camera manufactured by Zeiss Ikon of Germany from 1952 to 1958. The lens appears to have the same coating as Carl Zeiss. When you press the opening button, the front cover opens with force.
You'll be overwhelmed by the 3.5/105mm lens when it's unfolded.
