- Description
- Black hard-sided leather folding Zeiss Ikon Nixe camera in a black leather carry case. The front panel of the camera folds down by pressing a small round button on the bottom of the camera [the bottom is noted by the presence of a threaded hole into which a tripod can be fitted], and remains propped up with a rectangular silver metal foot with “Zeiss Ikon” embossed on it. The lens mount slides out on tracks the length of the panel with black paper bellows behind it - attached to the lens mount is a viewfinder in the top right corner, a metal wire frame that folds up to line up with another viewfinder on the top of the camera, and a black fabric-wrapped trigger. The back panel of the camera pops off by sliding a small silver metal clasp underneath the leather handle - a panel on the back can be slid down to reveal the exposure plate without removing the whole panel. The carry case is made of stiff dark leather and has a flap that folds over and clasps closed with a silver metal latch which clicks into a round metal base that can be locked. A long leather strap is fixed to both narrow sides and can be adjusted with a silver metal buckle. The “Zeiss Ikon” logo is embossed on the back.
