I have been following this thread on folders, and have enjoyed it. And now I
have a comment to make. I have had a Super Ikonta IV since my dad bought it for
me new in the early 60’s. A few years ago I had it cla’d and it’s like new
again. But I have one problem with it. The shutter release has a fairly long
travel and requires a fair amount of pressure. The result is that I have
trouble getting shake-free pictures. A soft release would, I think, solve this,
but I can’t screw one into the shutter release and release the shutter with it
because the film advance knob is right next to the shutter release and prevents
the soft release from being depressed far enough to take a picture.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for the information Ferdi. It is a different look than I am
accustomed to from my much older camera, but I do hope that it pleases you as
mine does me. Wonderful cameras, and certainly understandable that Zeiss
continued to make them for three decades.

Eric,
It was a high-contrast day and I slightly increased contrast. Without
thinking. I usually do it but that are digital images. I agree, in this case
better not. It was a few years ago that I scanned slide film.

The image quality is very much like my 531/2. I find the lens decently
sharp but overly contrasty for my taste. I prefer medium contrast
lenses which is why I shoot vintage.
Still for a folder, they make a nice image. The rigidity is good and
the rangefinder accurate.

Hello All,
It appears I cancelled my Flickr account but I have uploaded three images
elsewhere:

The pictures are small but I have larger ones. The Ektachrome I used is
the old Ektachrome E100GX, not the new E100. The expiry date is 2007, so
13 years old but frozen (-19 C) all the time. Like I wrote before they
are not very interesting, just a few test shots made in our garden, about
2 weeks ago. Taken hand held and it was a bit windy.
Ferdi.
