Description: RARE Zeiss Ikon Nettax 538/24 camera w. Zeiss Jena Tessar 2.8/5cm The camera: Good condition with minor scratches and brassing all around. Brassing where the lens mounts. I have not been able to move the shutter speed selector slower than 1/25. If there is a trick to selecting the slower shutter speeds I don't know what it is. It's possible something is preventing the slower speeds from being selected. The speeds between 1/25 and 1/1000 seem mostly accurate but have not been film tested. 1/500 and 1/1000 feel slightly slow in my opinion, while 1/25, 1/50, 1/100 and 1/200 feel correct. This is just my feeling. Film advance is working normally and includes a take-up spool. The rangefinder: The focusing window is slightly yellowed, but still clear enough to be used. The rangefinder appears accurate and seems to line up well. I have not film tested this, so I can't make any claims as to the lens's accuracy at infinity. The composition window is clean and bright. The lens: The focusing is smooth. The barrel extends and locks into place easily. The aperture is moving easily, and has a slight amount of oil on the blades. Shining a light through the rear element reveals a slight amount of haze. A CLA should clean this up nicely. There is no fungus and no scratches I can see. There is a vintage unbranded filter on the lens (which might account for why there are no scratches or cleaning marks) The lens also includes a vintage black Zeiss Jena push-on cap which I believe to be original to the lens. It fits nicely. I'm including a rare vintage Zeiss 35mm film cutter/template with original sheath. These came to me together, so I don't want to separate them. There is also a vintage leather case which I do not believe to be original. US buyers: This will ship with Priority Mail or UPS with signature confirmation.
