 Zeiss Ikon SW : The Zeiss Ikon SW is the 35mm precision camera for uncompromising superwide photographers. Its lens mount takes any lens with M bayonet, in particular the Zeiss high performance superwide-angle lenses Distagon T* 2.8/15mm ZM and the Biogon T* types from the Zeiss ZM range. An accessory shoe directly above the lens takes the corresponding superwide Viewfinder. A second shoe is built in to take a flash, a bubble level or other accessory. The electronically controlled metal focal plane shutter offers speeds ranging from 1/2000 sec. - 8 sec. in automatic mode (AE-lock is available) and 1/2000 - 1 sec. + B in manual mode. Fastest flash synchro speed of the Zeiss Ikon SW camera is 1/125 sec.

 Zeiss Ikon Superwide camera - Price
The new super wide angle Zeiss Ikon SW offers the same extremely high image quality as the known Zeiss Ikon rangefinder camera: far above today's digital cameras. It is fully integrated into the Zeiss Ikon system. The Zeiss Ikon SW Superwide camera comes without the complex rangefinder and is therefore considerably more affordable than the rangefinder camera. The Zeiss Ikon SW will be available as of October 2006. The list price of the new Zeiss Ikon Superwide camera is €799 (without VAT).
Zeiss Ikon SW camera - Exposure and Operation
The new Zeiss Ikon Superwide camera combines a classical design with easy-to-use operation. Features and controls are designed to make practical photography comfortable and free from unpleasant surprises caused by the camera. Manual or auto TTL exposure metering as well as an AE-lock function gives you complete control of the exposure situation. So that you can make best use of the entire system, from the film to the lens. Quite simply, you can count on a highly versatile creative tool that won't let you down.
Zeiss Ikon SW compact camera - Viewfinder
Unlike 35 mm SLR camera viewfinders, for example, that can only show little more than 90% of what will be recorded on film, the Zeiss Ikon SW viewfinder lets you see the area that surrounds the actual image giving you greater possibilities and confidence as you compose each image. All of this and more so that you can follow your passion: creating great images.
