Another Zeiss Ikon Nettar (517/16) Film Camera

A while ago, I picked up a beautiful Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16 medium format folding camera for next to nothing from the Kamerastore website. It was cheap because it had, ‘flaws that will affect typical use.’ In this case, the ‘viewfinder has haze and fungus inside’. Otherwise, it was described as being in working condition. After a few weeks, I took it out with a roll of Lomochrome Turquoise, and the results were spectacular, but the hazy viewfinder was an issue and I really wanted to clean it out.

I looked around online and the hazy viewfinder seems to be a common problem with these vintage cameras, but quite an easy fix. However, I was still a little nervous about taking apart such a lovely camera and wanted something to pracise on first. And that’s where this Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16 comes in. Of course, it was in the ‘Not Passed’ category on the Kamerastore website, with ‘flaws that will affect typical use’. In this case, the 1/25s shutter speed overexposes by approximately 1 stop, and ‘there is some wear on the beams, but no light leaks were observed’. In addition, the ‘film advance knob only unwinds if its rotated backwards,’ and, of course, ‘there is blur in viewfinder’.

When the camera arrived, in a really nice leather case, it was in lovely condition apart from the aforementioned ‘blur’ in the viewfinder, which was in fact haze, as in my original version. Before I started cleaning the viewfinder, I thought it might be a good idea to check that the camera functioned properly. Although the 1/25s speed was reported as exposing incorrectly, the remaining speeds were within tolerance. As a reminder, the Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16 is a manual focus medium format folding camera that takes twelve 6x6cm images on a roll of 120 film. Introduced by Zeiss Ikon in 1951, it was manufactured until 1957. It comes with Novar Anastigmat 75mm f4.5 lens. There are three shutter speeds, of 1/25s, 1/75s and 1/200s.

I loaded it with a roll of Harman Red film in 120 format and took the Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16 to the Praia da Barra and around the neighbourhood in Oiä. To measure the exposure, I used the smartphone app Camera Meter, and made well sure to keep the shutter speed selection away from 1/25s. Fortunately, the days we went out were lovely and sunny, so that wasn’t much of an issue. The exposed film was dropped off at Forever Blue in Aveiro, and the negatives scanned at home with an Epson Perfection v750 Pro flat bed scanner and Epson Scan software.

The negatives came out fine, and I was really happy with how the camera performed. However, this was my first experiment with Harman Red in 120 format and I’m not certain that the exposures were quite correct (or maybe it’s not just the 1/25s speed that’s out of tolerance). Also, compared to the images from my original 517/16 with Lomochrome Turquoise, these results were very ‘so so’. Mind you, I’m wondering whether that’s more because of my subject selection and response of the redscaled film than the camera itself. I’ve posted the whole roll in an album (https://www.flickr.com/gp/147583812@N06/zs8864PE9m) on my Flickr if you want to see the rest of the images. I do love these little medium format folders, and now it’s time to try clean the viewfinder. ‘Stay tuned’, as they say (and wish me luck).
