ID help Herlango glass plate folding

Postby Amuzed2death » Fri Jul 14, 2017 10:38 pm

Found this cheap on ebay. Was listed as Zeiss Ikon, but could not ID by the pics. Turns out its a Herlango with a Z. Ikon plate holder. There isnt much info on these around and few photos. Any help with a more positive ID would be appreciated. Thanks

Antique folding plate camera made by Herlango in Austria around in 1920-25.
The camera is mid-sized, contained in a leather-covered wooden box with metal frames and rails.
Has black leather bellow.
The camera is fitted with large Xenar 35 mm f=150mm lens made by Jos.Schneider & Co. Kreuznach with
Compur Super-fast shutter.

Thanks, but Im in search of a modelname/number. Its a 105mm f4.5, not 150 3.5. Also, the box is metal not wood.

None of those look right. The main difference that i see being the view/range finder window on the body and the wire frame on the lens bed. My flip up finder is round and curved. The wire frame finder doesnt go up and over the focus lock knobs but rather out and around them when folded in. I absolutely cannot find one picture of identification that matches all other statistics along with the finders.
