Zeiss Ikon Icarex 35 S Black

The Icarex 35 was a 35mm SLR made by the German company Zeiss Ikon at the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s.

It was originally developed by Voigtländer, but was released after the fusion of Zeiss Ikon and Voigtländer in 1966. The original Icarex 35 model, or Icarex 35, had a focal plane shutter to 1/1000, a special bayonet mount, and an interchangeable finder, with the choice between a waist-level finder, a pent prism or a metered pentaprism, marked Icarex 35 CS. The exposure meter in the pentaprism was of the through the lens type, but the exposure could only be read with the diaphragm closed. The Icarex 35 also had interchangeable finder screens.

The special bayonet mount and the limited range of lenses were hampering the Icarex sales, so the two models were released in a modified version accepting 42mm screw lenses. They had a TM badge to distinguish them from the bayonet versions, that remained in production with a BM badge. An Icarex with no BM or TM badge is a bayonet body made before the thread mount version was introduced.
