Thanks!!! I got the lens as clean as I can - just need to get into the mirror and viewfinder next! I can’t believe this was made in the 1930’s.

Fantastic camera and worth to be restored and used! Outside (just cosmetics, but who knows), it has the typical "Zeiss bumps" (lumps in the leather from brass rivets reacting with the metal, but you probably know). Have it on my Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 521/2 too, but not on my Zeiss Ikon Contina IIa. So, they must have done something different between 1938 and 1958 ;-)

I think I have come across the term "Zeiss bumps" but I had completely forgotten - quite interesting. I have written that down for when I prep the full video (for both the IKOFLEX and the NETTAX).

@@NatalieRosellaBoonzaier I'm scared to touch the leatherette 😆because the Ikonta works perfectly. However, what I don't know is if corrosion can affect something. It might indicate that the camera lived for a while in higher humidity. Or got exposed to it? Anyhow, it's in perfect condition, has no lens fungus, and produces brilliant, sharp photos. Leaving the bumps as they are and enjoying them as part of the camera's character is the decision for now! The Contina has the same light meter as your Nettax; amazingly, it works precisely. Looking forward to your videos to learn from! Best of luck on your journey!
