Jackpot indeed! COUPLED rangefinder, how nice is that? Shocked Once
in a while someone gets lucky, and I'm sure glad you did. Nice catch!

aperture blades...

To my knowledge, all Super Ikontas have coupled rangefinders.

What a great find! And the III has the Sychro-Compur shutter, so you can use it with a modern strobe, too. One of the best Super Ikontas.

I think you will be well pleased, if not stunned, by the quality of the photos you get from that fine old camera.
