The Super- Ikonta B and Super Ikonta BX are 6x6cm self-erecting
folding cameras using 120 film. Unlike the Super Ikonta A, C and D cameras,
they are a horizontal design. All feature a rotating wedge rangefinder, with
the rotating wedge on an arm attached to the lens standard, but unlike the
Super Ikonta A, C and D, it doesn't fold for storage. The first model was the
Super Ikonta B 530/16, introduced in 1935. It has separate viewfinder and rangefinder
windows, and was usually fitted with an Zeiss Tessar 80/2.8 lens in Compur
Rapid shutter. In 1937 the Super Ikonta B 530/16 was replaced by
the 532/16. The big improvement was a combined rangefinder and viewfinder. It
was only available with the 80/2.8 Tessar. The shutter was Compur Rapid until
1951, when the shutter was changed to Synchro-Compur. In 1948 the black
enameled lens standard was replaced with chrome. The camera was discontinued in
1956. The Super Ikonta BX 533/16 was also introduced in
1937. It is essentially the same as the 532/16, but with a selenium exposure
meter mounted on the top, and with a chrome finished lens standard. In 1952 the
size of the meter was reduced, and the shutter was changed to Synchro-Compur.
The camera was discontinued in 1957.
