Yes, I have intimate experience with the Super Ikonta B. It is a superb
camera,
whose f2.8 80mm Zeiss Tessar gives results very similar to the Planars
in my
Hasselblad or Rolleiflex. I cannot tell the difference in 10x10 prints.
The camera
is very small and compact, but extremely solid. It is a keeper.
