Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16
Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16 Folding Camera - Good Condition | Classic German Medium Format Folder with Novar Anastigmat 75mm f/6.3
The Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16 is a classic and elegant German folding camera that represents the accessible end of Zeiss Ikon's celebrated medium format lineup. Compact and pocketable when closed, it opens to reveal a precision-engineered bellows mechanism paired with the Novar Anastigmat 75mm f/6.3 lens — a simple but capable triplet design that delivers sharp, contrasty images with the characteristic rendering of a golden era of German optical craftsmanship. Shooting 6x6 medium format on 120 film, the Nettar produces beautifully detailed negatives that reward the patient photographer. A genuine piece of photographic history that remains a satisfying camera to shoot with today.
Key Features
- Novar Anastigmat 75mm f/6.3 — classic German triplet lens design
- Compact folding design — pocketable when closed
- Medium format 6x6 film — exceptional image quality and fine grain
- Precision-engineered bellows mechanism
- All-metal construction of the highest quality
- A genuine piece of German optical and mechanical heritage
Condition Report
- Body: Good condition — light marks consistent with age and use; bellows intact with no visible pinholes; folding mechanism operates smoothly
- Optics: Elements clean and clear — no fungus, haze, or significant dust; coatings intact
- Mechanics: Shutter fires across available speeds; aperture blades clean and snappy; focus mechanism operates smoothly
"The Nettar is one of those classic folders that proves you don't need a complex camera to get beautiful medium format results. The Novar Anastigmat has a simple charm to its rendering — sharp in the centre, softening gently towards the edges — that gives every frame a distinctly vintage character. Compact, pocketable, and genuinely enjoyable to shoot with."
