film type 120...

After World War II Zeiss Ikon was split into a West-German and an East-German part. It was reformed in West Germany, and trademark disputes followed with the part that was left in East Germany. Stuttgart became the company's domicile. Zeiss Ikon merged in the mid 1960s with Voigtländer, another important German manufacturer that was controlled by the Zeiss Foundation since 1956. The product lines of Zeiss Ikon Stuttgart were different from the East German company's products. The Ikophot light meters were made in Stuttgart.
Zeiss Ikon ceased the production of cameras in 1972. It was a terrible shock for all the German camera industry. Parts of the Zeiss Ikon product line then went to Rollei, and part of the know-how was used to revive the Contax name in collaboration with the Japanese maker Yashica.

The Mamiya C220 is a lightweight twin-lens reflex camera made in the early 1970s with interchangeable lenses ranging from 55 mm wide-angle to 250 mm telephoto. The camera accepts 120 and 220 rollfilms. The rack and pinion focusing system with a bellows makes it possible for close-up photography without attachments. The straight film path has no sharp turns for absolute flatness of the film.
Image quality of the Mamiya C220 and the Mamiya C330 is exactly the same, just the ease of use is different.[citation needed]
The Mamiya twin lens reflex cameras (together with the Zeiss Contaflex[1] and the Koni Omegaflex M[2]) are among the very few medium-format TLR cameras with interchangeable lenses.
  • Dimensions: 118 mm (w) x 167 mm (h) x 113 mm (d)
  • Weight: 1.44 kg

Portable ink holder

This ink bottle is used to be a portable because of the double lid which make sure of the safety.
Ink Bottle collecting can be a fascinating and rewarding pastime, but correctly identifying the maker of an individual piece can be challenging at times. Collecting ink bottles, a popular specialty, is no exception, especially since the variety of ink bottles produced may be greater than any other bottle type.
