Zeiss Ikonta Mk III test shots

[Idlefrog]

I have been picking up medium format folders on eBay for the last few months. I have far too many but seem addicted to scanning eBay for ones that take my fancy. This week I got a 6x9 Ikonta Mk III for £50 which is in excellent shape.

Here are some snaps I took this afternoon just to get an idea if it is working OK. Not the most interesting shots. I think they came out pretty well. I ruined 2 shots where the shutter stuck on one and on the other I forgot to focus the lens. That is 25% of the film wasted!

Looks like you have picked up a good one. Nice and sharp and good contrast.

Lovely, huge negatives, nice detail, but only 8 to a roll!
