Can anyone identify the Zeiss Ikon Voigtlander everready case on the right? Shown next to a SL 706 (Icarex) case for size comparison.



BTW, this image was shot on a Sony a77 with a 17-blade version of the Carl Zeiss Jena 58mm f2 Biotar at f4 1600iso.

My bet is for a Zeiss Ikon Contessa S 312
(same camera as the Voigtlaender VF 101)

i don't think it's for an S312 - it looks to be too thin. More likely one of the Zeiss Ikon Voigtlander Vitessa 500 series. Or, because we can't see how thick it is, maybe even one of the 126 models.

Has it got a nice brown suede-like lining?

Thanks guys. Per your suggestions, I took to eBay and was able to find an auction for a Vitessa 126s that comes with this case. Mystery solved.

Do you actually use a camera like that? What film do you use?

No, I don't. This empty case was found in a rental property I own. It looks brand new. I wish there had been a camera inside.

As far as film, I currently shoot with either a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super B or SL 706 or a Minolta 7000.
