Description
This Zeiss Ikon Donata 227/3 was produced around 1927–1931, making it a historically significant camera from the early years of Zeiss Ikon.
It uses the large 6.5×9cm format and is equipped with the renowned Carl Zeiss Tessar 10.5cm f/4.5, a classic lens design that adds strong appeal for collectors.
The combination of its early Zeiss Ikon heritage, large-format plate design, and beautiful vintage construction makes it a particularly desirable piece for enthusiasts of historic German cameras.
The lens extends and retracts smoothly, the bellows have no tears, and the camera has been tested for proper operation.
