This is the second post in this B&W section. The camera is a nice Super-Icona,
and it has CZJ Tessar 80/2.8 with mono-coating.
All were shot in the backyard of our old house.
Out of focus
Friends and our dog

hi Koji, I have the following model to yours (the Super Ikonta 533/16), it was my father's camera, now I inherited it.
It's nice to see those precious old Zeiss folders still being used!
The Tessar in my Ikonta is a bit weak until well stopped down, and yours seems the same.
May I suggest you to try the Elke film? It's made following the same recipe B&W films were made in the 50s and 60s. So it's the natural companion to your ikonta, to recreate the original look.

Fast Tessar (f2.8 ) is not so good I guess. As Orio knows this Tessar has
to be closed down to at least F8 it is not sharp. But the camera is non-
destructive, very sturdy but heavy. And one odd thing is you cannot shoot
12 frames with 120 film, only 11 frames strangely.
I used Illford II, I did not remember exactly which, with less contrast one.
Processing B&W film becomes expensive at EDP shops (I do not develope
the films myself, used to do that thou), this might be the last B&W shots
with this camera or some other 6X6 TLRs.

I wonder if your rangefinder is front-focusing a bit. It looks to me like the focus is on the lady's arm in number 2 and the man's foot in number 3, and that the lens is nice and sharp.
Apart from that, these all look fine.

My Iconta might be out of focus, buy I was not careful enough to focus
correctly I think. Anyway it has 80 mm lens, tele-photo for 135 format.
And not closed down much, many factors involved.
I will check the focus of this camera by using some half transparent
paper or baking paper! I will try to use this camera again with some
colour slide film, negative film is easier to scan but need a change!
This camera is quite easy to carry, but no light meter. Wait till the next
summer.
