Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515/16: How to use - Video Manual

[@cwadle]

Thank you for this video! We just picked up the next model, the 516. Most of the instructions still apply, so this was very helpful. We are looking forward to our film arriving, so we can start taking 1940s style photos.

Glad to be of help! Have fun with your camera! Don't forget to check the bellows for pinholes to avoid light leaks!

I've heard these could be used for exorcising ghosts, is this true?

What are the shutter speed guidelines for this camera? What shutter speeds should I use depending on what I'm taking a picture of?

[@FilmCameras]

You might find this camera with a couple of shutter speed variations, but in general, you choose a shutter speed according to your subject's movement speed and/or the lighting conditions. If you want to take a photo of a fast moving object, then you should choose a high shutter speed, otherwise your subject will have motion blur. In low shutter speeds, like the 1/25 of this camera you must try and keep the camera as steady as possible to avoid blurriness. On the other hand if you choose high shutter speeds you allow less light and the image will be darker as opposed to a low shutter speed. For all this you must find the correct balance between shutter speed, aperture and the film's ISO.

Hi, I recently found my grandpa's ikon Nettar with the film roll still inside. I was wondering if I'm supposed to rewind the film roll when I have to take it out in order to develop it (or not, just like shown in the video). Sorry for asking but I have never done something like this before and I wouldn't want to ruin the film.

[@FilmCameras]

Hi. You don't rewind the 120 film (after all this camera won't allow it). What you have to do is to advance it until it fully rolls on the take-up spool, as in this video. Don't open the camera before completely rolling the film, or it may ruin some of the photos (if there are any taken). After taking the film roll out of the camera, since it is very old, put it in a small box or cover it with aluminum foil, to avoid any direct contact with light and give it for developing. Before removing it have a look at the red window and see what frame number it shows. If it shows "1", there might not be any photos taken.

[@giulia3448]

@@FilmCameras Thank you very much for the advice! I took the last 3 photos so that I can develop the film. The other day after taking the last photo I kept rolling until i saw the red window turn black. That 's when I thought I did something wrong but then I found this video. My only concern was about the rewinding thing, that's why I asked. Thanks again for the great advice and the explanation about rewinding not being necessary! Have a nice day :)

[@nicholasfrenette6010]

Did you ever get the film developed ?@@giulia3448

[@MrDasfried]

Like how you filmed it and also the overlay text is nice. Only thing that keept me from watching further is the (for me) overdramatic music

[@jithinbabu9579]

wonderful

[@BehindTheCulture.]

Do you need to set the iso of the film?

[@FilmCameras]

No, there is no such a function. But you'll need to remember what's the ISO of the film you have inside in order to adjust the speed and the aperture.

[@namnguyenthanh4781]

Amazing

[@dextercanning5927]

And what make of film did you use in this video?

[@FilmCameras]

It's an Ilford HP5 Plus, black & white 120 film

You should never open a bellows camera like that! And if you donno why dont make videos about them!

[@Frisenette]

Since this particular one is sluggish it can be forgiven. But yeah, he is giving the wrong idea. Also when closing it, it is a very good idea to help the little clasp that clicks and keeps the flap up, by pressing down on it as you would when opening it. This will make the mechanism last much longer.

[@LOLokBuddy]

Why? If you critique the method on an instructional video you should at least provide info so others do not make the same mistake.

[@Frisenette]

@@LOLokBuddy Very simple. Help the bellows and door by _not_ letting them spring open. Meet and support the door with your hand while it opens.
