Conclusion

Like all Zeiss Ikon folding cameras this do have very nice build quality and feel.
The Novar-Anastigmat lens is also a quite nice one.

Image quality is good and sharp but do have soft corners at bigger apertures.
It renders well with good contrast, bokeh.
Flare looks fairly well but I did get a little internal reflections from the aperture blades in direct sunlight.
Also work well in backlight.

Nice little camera and with great value for the money.
But a very simple one.


Thumbs up:
Good image quality / Feel
Bokeh
Great build quality
Portable and fairly lightweight

Thumbs down:
Corner sharpness at bigger aperture
