BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of Vintage Folding and Instant Cameras with Accessories
This collection of vintage photographic equipment features several cameras and associated accessories spanning various eras of photography. Included is a Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 520/16 medium format folding camera designed for 6x6cm images on 120 roll film. This unit is fitted with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 1:3.5 f=7.5cm lens, serial number 2110321, and a Compur-Rapid shutter with speeds from 1 second to 1/500 second plus Time and Bulb settings. It features a metal body with black leatherette covering and is accompanied by a brown leather ever-ready case with an embossed Zeiss Ikon logo. The assortment also contains a Polaroid Automatic 250 Land Camera for Type 100 instant pack film, which features a glass lens and a combined Zeiss Ikon single-window rangefinder and viewfinder. It includes a black leather neck strap and an ITT Magicflash electronic flash unit. Also present is a Kodak Vigilant Junior Six-20 folding camera for 620 roll film, featuring a Kodet lens and Dak shutter as marked on the interior bed plate. It is housed in a separate brown leather vertical carrying case with brass hardware and an identification window. Finally, the group includes a Pentax Espio 140V 35mm point-and-shoot camera featuring a Pentax 38mm-140mm power zoom lens, built-in flash, and digital date back.
Condition report:
The Zeiss Ikon camera exhibits moderate cosmetic wear to the leatherette and metal edges, with visible internal dust and light haze in the lens; the shutter is intact but has not been tested for timing accuracy. The Polaroid camera is in generally good cosmetic condition with surface dust and bellows that appear light-tight, though the battery compartment has not been inspected for corrosion. The Kodak camera shows signs of heavy use, including wear to the leatherette, oxidation on metal components, and stiff bellows. The Pentax camera is in fair cosmetic condition with minor scuffs to the silver plastic body. All items are sold as-is for collector or decorative purposes; mechanical and electronic functions have not been tested with film or batteries. Lenses may contain internal dust, haze, or fungus consistent with age.
