Zeiss Ikon Icarex 35S

The Zeiss Ikon Icarex 35S is a classic 35 mm single-lens reflex film camera from the late 1960s to early 1970s, designed for photographers who enjoy traditional manual operation. This version features the original Icarex bayonet mount (BM) for interchangeable lenses — a proprietary Zeiss Ikon mount system that differs from standard mounts and requires dedicated Icarex lenses.

The camera’s solid metal body and fully manual controls give you complete command over shutter speed, aperture and focus. All mechanical functions such as film advance, shutter and focusing are working well, making the camera usable with the right lens. The internal light meter does not function correctly, so automatic exposure modes are not reliable; exposure can be set manually using an external meter or a light meter app on your phone. This example with serial number P90079 is in good mechanical condition and makes an interesting choice for collectors and analog photographers seeking a hands-on 35 mm SLR experience with historical character.
