I was just wondering if the pressure was needed by the
shutter or something else in the camera such as a double exposure
prevention release or film winding release. I am not familiar
with using the Super Ikontas, I may have instruction books from
Butkus.org stashed away.

I don’t think the throw is any longer, but I think it takes more pressure.

Did the shutter always require a long throw or is this since the repair?

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.

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.

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.
