**Collection of Vintage Folding and Rangefinder Cameras Including Zeiss Ikon and Agfa Models** This exquisite collection features five vintage cameras, showcasing a blend of three folding cameras and two rangefinder cameras, complete with their matching brown leather cases. The folding cameras are the stars of this collection, prominently exhibiting their bellows extending gracefully from the body to the lens. Notable among them is a Zeiss Ikon with a Tessar lens, marked "10.5 cm f/4.5," demonstrating precision craftsmanship and historical significance. Another folding camera boasts an engraving on its lens, highlighting specifications that are typical of classic mid-20th century designs. Accompanying the folding cameras, the two rangefinder cameras bring their unique charm. The camera positioned on the far left is an Agfa model, recognizable for its straightforward, box-like design. Another captivating rangefinder is the Zeiss Ikon Contina, equipped with a Prontor-SVS 45mm f/2.8 lens, and a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex featuring a Synchro-Compur shutter and a Zeiss Opton Tessar 50mm f/2.8 lens. Each camera in this collection is predominantly black with elegant silver accents, embodying the blending of metal and leather that defined this era of camera design. The leather cases, equally vintage, serve as protectors and add an authentic finishing touch to this remarkable assembly. Collectively, these items encapsulate a piece of photographic history, appealing to both seasoned collectors and photography enthusiasts alike.
