Zeiss Ikon's Nettar series was a successful range of freestanding folding cameras for 120 film (often described as B2 6x9 film). Several types were offered for the 6×9 cm, 6×6 cm and 6×4.5 cm format, with different lenses in a variety of shutters. Zeiss Ikon also produced a Nettar equipped with an exposure meter, the Nettax (513/16).

 

Zeiss Ikon has always promoted the Nettar series as being aimed at amateur photographers. However, these cameras share many parts with the much more expensive Ikonta series (e.g. body and mounts). The Nettar series may lack the higher spec lens/lens combinations and things like type and film speed memo discs, but the observed build quality is on par with the Ikontas.

 

The Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/2 is a 6×9 medium format folding camera from around 1951.  All these years later, the simple Vario shutter still reliably delivers its 1/200, 1/75, 1/25 and bulb speeds.  The lens is a 105mm f 6.3 Novar Anastigmat, which gives good image quality in the center of the frame and decent quality around it when the aperture is stopped down to around f11.  Wide open the lens creates a great look that tends towards an old large format look, or at least as close as you can get with a medium format camera.  The 6cm x 9cm negative is about 6.5 times larger than a 35mm film negative.  With a maximum shutter speed of 1/200sec, though care must be taken not to induce camera shake.  Also, the shutter sits at the end of the bellows without preventing double exposure, making it a good camera for multiple exposures.
