Thanks for the comment. They are great cameras and can give some good results. These don't seem to come up for sale as often as its brother the Nettar, which, as I said in the video, is the same camera but without the meter. Good luck with the search. I hope to be uploading more videos soon. Cheers.

Thank you for a great video on this camera... I recently purchased a similar Zeiss Ikon... now I know how to use the uncoupled selenium cell light meter....I have been using an app on my phone. That is very useful to know. Plus the tip about the snapshot mode or red dot setting will be useful. Just shot 2 rolls of film so far and yet to be developed so looking forward to seeing if I have the focus and light metered correctly.

Thanks for the comment. They are great cameras to use. I've purchased a Weston Master II exposure meter, I think it was around £10 and even though the camera has a built in light meter it gives a back up reading and of course for those cameras that haven't got a meter. Hope to be doing a few more videos soon. Happy shooting..

Hello Reluctant Photographer, thanks for posting this very nice video on a unique film camera. There are numerous videos on just about any topic, but it was very nice to find one, without all the immature hype, music, and irrelevant content. These little Zeiss cameras are nothing short of amazing. I would like to find this same model Zeiss Ikon Nettax 6x6. A month ago, I found one on eBay (Zeiss Ikon Nettax 6X6, 517/16), that was untested, but looked to be in good shape. It does not have a meter, or the view finder red exposure indicator, or the self timer. It does, however have the "Snap Shot" mode, you mention in your video. I was wondering what those red dots on the dials were indicating. I have shot a roll, but have not yet developed the film. Once developed, and the film is free of light leak marks, I intend to remove the cover, to clean the inside of the view finder, and tend to any possible light leak locations. Also intend to test the PC sync port once I get my hands on a PC sync cable. If I can find a Nettax similar to yours, or even a 6x9 or 6x4.5. Thanks again, very nice little cameras.

Many thanks for the comment John. I love these cameras they are great fun to use and produce good images. I find the numbering system for the zeiss Ikon cameras confusing especially when trying to locate a particular camera. I think mine is a 513/16. This guy make identifying the cameras easier....www.cjs-classic-cameras.co.uk/zeiss/zeiss.html#n517 There is one of these on eBay at the moment, but at £190...no way!!! I managed to find this one a couple of years ago for £20. About a year ago I picked up a Zeiss Ikon contaflex 35mm which has a fairly unique operation, also a Halina 6-4 in really good condition can't wait to put it through it's paces, it gives 6x6 or 4x4 images. I hope to have more reviews coming more frequently in the future, Good luck with your photography Regards David.
