Super Ikonta B 532/16

[elmer3.5]

Hi, after a while i got some pics with my new old super ikonta.

Nice camera, very small despite being medium format!
I like the colour rendering.
Many shaky pics, i´ll have to learn many things about getting nice shots with this format.
I´m very happy because the lens isn´t flary.
A few examples!!!
Metered with a gossen selenium sixtomat.





Hope you enjoy!
Bye!!!

Nice couple of shots there, I have a 532/16 but haven't used it much. Were these taken wide open?

Hi, thanks Sam!

They were about 5.6...

...but this pair were shot wide open, i like colour rendering of this lens more than B/W!





I think wide open this lens is superb, it´s from 1951!!!!
Hope to see your shots!

Bye!

Hi Chippy, i don´t know many medium format RF, let´s say it´s weight and size don´t make me unconfortable

I wouldn´t tell it´s such a tank that can stand such heavy duty

Thanks for your shots, that lens hood looks neat, the SI is a real beaut!
Now i´ll develop some shot taken at chichén itzá, let´s see what comes up!
I´ll post´em soon.

Bye!

I got my 532/16 as an Xmas gift. Absolutely love shooting b&w with it.

I own one pretty much like yours. All-chromed units are the second version (call it MkII). It is not my favorite, though...

Stunning shots, Elmer! My Zeiss doesn't render anywhere nearly as good. It's got an uncoated Tessar and the shots are very soft and seem foggy (haze?)

What film is that? Portra? Amazing colours and you're right- despite what many say the Tessar renders colour VERY nicely!

Thanks for those shots, you encouraged me to actually have the lens professionally cleaned.

Here's a shot from my Ikonta 532/16 after a trip to Jurgen Kreckel(certo6):

I've been aching for one of these cameras . . I keep hunting but it's tough to locate other than on ebay from Jurgen (or others).

Cheers,

Dave, by the time I got mine back from Jurgen, what I've got invested in it is about what I'd have invested if I'd just bought it from Jurgen initially. Just FYI, you know?

I totally get that - I've got Jurgen as one of my "favourite" sellers on my Ebay profile (I rarely sell there and only buy there due to the crappy policies for sellers now).

I've been eyeing his stuff lately so maybe there's one in my future

Cheers,
Dave
