Richard,

Not sure if I understand your question. I did have the BX Synchro Compur with the 12 frames. The "new" one I am expecting to arrive in the next couple of days is a plain Ikonta (no RF, hence no "Super") and it is a 6 x 4.5 (or as my grandfather, who was very fond of that model, used to say in German: "viereinhalb mal sechs" (four and a half times six).

Never understood the 11-frames model. Why waste film when you have so few shots between film changes?

     It seems to me that the Super Ikonta B shoots 11
pictures per roll but the BX, the one with the meter on top,
shoots 12 pictures. What was different between these models?
