[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a Super Ikonta C that spends a lot of time on the shelf because of its separate range/viewfinder. Same with the tiny and pocketable Super Ikonta A. While a separate range/viewfinder is not a problem with me in terms of my screwmount Leicas, for some reason, I find the ones on these Zeiss folders to be less convenient in use. I have used the Koni-Omega and have often thought of buying one, but it really does fail the "carry in a pocket" test, which is a crucial consideration for me.
