I have a camera that does not exist it seem.

Camera is a Carl Zeiss Ikon Lloyd. According to www.oldtimercameras.com there is a leaflet with a Carl Zeiss Ikon Lloyd dated 1927.

The shutter is a Compur. Serial 258646 D.R.P. According to motamedi.info compur shutters with serials 250.000 was produced from 1914. However. The D.R.P as far as I know, puts it between 1933 and 1950 (R standing for Reich)

Lens is a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar f=13,5cm 1:4.5 serial 825296. According to every serial list I have seen so far, there is no serials 8xxxxx for Carl Zeiss Jena lenses.

Now I have seen that 1940 of the Jena lenses are marked "Unknown" and I have also noticed that 1927 is the closest match to my lens. This might make me want to put the camera manufacture date at 1927.

Further I have noticed that ICA had the Lloyd camera in their line up. And since they joined forces with Zeiss 1926, the year 1927 is still possible. However. My camera is branded "Carl Zeiss Ikon" not ICA as the ones I have seen images of. I have yet to see an image of a Zeiss Ikon Lloyd.

Anyone got a Carl Zeiss Ikon Lloyd? Surprised

oh and here is a picture I took today with it.

Intriguing. I'll look up what the D. Tubbs Zeiss Ikon Cameras 1926-39 has in it when I'm home. The book at least mentions every damn model made including the corporate roots.

Catalog number should be 510/1

However, this is all that I find about Zeiss 510 : "The Zeiss Ikon Bob (model number 510) is the first camera to carry the Nettar name - it was introduced about 1934 and here in Britain it was marketed as a Nettar. Two versions were made, one for 16 on 120 (510) and one for 8 on 120 (510/2). Prices varied depending on the specification of the camera. The 510/2 with f/7.7 lens in Automat shutter was just over £2 12s while the 510 with f/6.3 lens in Telma shutter was £4 (both prices are taken from a 1937 catalogue)." from Mariottworld.

Which is just wrong. My camera use is 8.9cmx12.7cm film size. The roll is huge and it can use glassplates aswell. ;D Ive been shooting on some old 3'1/2x5' paper.

Here's a bit more in the correct direction:
http://www.pacificrimcamera.com/pp/zeiss/lloyd/lloyd.htm
Quote:
The Lloyd is a large folding camera that could be used to make images 8 x 10.5cm on rollfilm, 9 x 12cm on plates or cut film. It is very similar to the Zeiss Halloh, but was finished in fancier leather, and had shift, plus rise and fall front movements. It's history goes back to Huttig and 1905. Some had both a focal plane shutter as well as a between the lens leaf shutter, and was available in a couple of large sizes. It was continued after Huttig merged with Wunsche, Krugener and Carl Zeiss Palmos to form Ica, and was offered only in the one size. It was listed from 1926, when Ica merged with Contessa-Netter, Ernemann and Goerz to form Zeiss Ikon, as a carry over from the Ica line until 1929. The Zeiss number is 510/17.

A stereo version of the camera was also marketed by Huttig, and it shared a similar histoy. It is a drop bed folding camera, and could be had with Doppel Anastigmat Hekla, 135/6.8 Litonar or 135/6.8 Tessar lenses in Automat or Compur shutters. It made stereo images 8 x 14cm on rollfilm and 9 x 14cm on cut film or plates. The Stereo Lloyd was dropped from the Zeiss catalog in 1927.

Oh yes. I saw that page when I first got the camera. But i forgot it because of the catalog number being 510/17 and not 1. Good googling Wink

But that should basically put it inbetween 1926 and 1929 then. So I am back to dating it 1927. Wink

And yes. http://photocollector.narod.ru/001_3.2.jpg that looks like mine. But mine still say 510/1 on the leather. I guess I have to acctually use my digital camera and take some shots of it. phew.
