I most cheerfully, however, will admit McKeown's error.  See Otto and
Jüttner's definitive work on the Postwar Zeiss Ikon and Zeiss cameras for
discussion.

Or, for that matter, consult the price guides and related literature issued
by Zeiss Ikon.  The IIa was only issued during the period I set out and
only issued under the bestellnummer I gave.

Finally, there is an excellent article in the ZEISS HISTORICA JOURNAL some
years back, written by the Society's current President, Larry Gubas,
detailing the models of the Ikoflex and, again, there was only one model of
the Ikoflex IIa.
