Zeiss Ikon Colora 35mm Viewfinder Camera f2.8 50mm Novicar Lens w/ Original Case


The Colora is a 35mm viewfinder camera made in Germany by Zeiss Ikon, taking 24×36mm frames. 1963 model 


Very Good Condition with minimal signs of wear (see photos). Lens appears to be in good condition with no visible signs of mould or haze. Original case and strap is in good condition with a crack on the top of the plastic shell. All functional components seem to work properly although they have not been tested. Sold as-is.


The 1963 body shape is quite like contemporary models made by sister company Voigtländer, such as the Vito C and Vitoret — with which it shares some parts. It was in production from 1963-1965. The Colora F (1964-65, cat no 10.0641) was similar, but with the addition of an AG-1 flash bulb holder in the top plate, hidden under the accessory shoe (and so also slightly taller to accommodate the flash battery).[2]
