Postby bill339 » Sun Aug 27, 2017 1:06 pm

The Zeiss Ikon Nettar S (515/2) Year of release was 1933 and production stopped in 1951. There were several changes during production. From 1933 to 1934 the camera had a hexagonal shutter panel. From 1934 to 1951 it had a round shutter plate, and from 1937 to 1951 the Nettar logo changed to Zeiss Ikon. The camera uses 120 roll film (6×9cm exposures), weighed 650 grams and the dimensions folded are 155 x 80 x 42 mm. The camera (in some configurations) also has a plunger shutter release socket with a holder on the bed, a portrait plus landscape tripod sockets, a waist high optical brilliant viewfinder plus a fold down frame finder, a carry handle, and a shutter release time delay. The camera had many Lens/shutter combinations prewar, during, and after World War II. The pre-war combinasions are (Nettar 1:7.7/10.5cm in Derval leaf shutter), (Nettar 1:6.3/10.5cm in Nettar, Derval, Telma or Klio leaf shutter), (Nettar 1:4.5/11cm in Telma, Klio, Compur or Compur-Rapid leaf shutter), (Nettar 1:3.5/10.5cm in Compur-Rapid leaf shutter), (Novar Anastigmat 1:6.3/105mm in Compur-Rapid leaf shutter), (Novar Anastigmat 1:4.5/11cm in Telma leaf shutter), and the (Tessar 1:4.5/10.5cm in Compur or Compur-Rapid leaf shutter). The postwar combinations are the Novar Anastigmat 1:6.3/10.5cm in Vario leaf shutter, and the Novar Anastigmat 1:4.5/10.5cm in Pronto or Prontor-S leaf shutter.
