Chronology of cameras Ica
Ica AG (International Camera Aktien Gesellschaft) was established in 1909 through the merger of the companies Huttig, Krugener, Wuensche, and Carl Zeiss Palmos, with Zulauf joining in 1911.
Several years were required to finalize this merger, during which production relied on the expertise of each of the founding companies. From this period, you can find some original models, but also often copies from one or another of the previous brands bearing the name Ica, sometimes even not listed in an Ica catalog and without a specific model code.
It was from 1912 that the situation stabilized, and the various camera models began to follow a certain coherence until 1926, when Ica ceased to exist. It was absorbed, along with others, into Zeiss Ikon.
The Ica Reflex is available in several formats. For each format, there is a model number:
Reference | Size (cm) | Reference Tudor | |
748 | 6 x 9 | ||
749 | 9 x 9 | ||
750 | 9 x 12 | 756 | |
751 | 8 x 10,5 | ||
752 | 10 x 15 | 758 | |
753 | 13 x 18 |
In all cases, it is a single-lens reflex camera, topped with a very large viewfinder cone. The purpose of this cone is to focus on the ground glass without being hindered by stray light and without having to lean too much. Focusing is achieved by moving a plate that holds the lens. This plate is located at the end of a bellows. Two lateral rack-and-pinion rails ensure its movement.
The shutter is a curtain shutter closest to the film plane. The settings for this curtain are all towards the rear of the camera. In the anterior part, laterally, there is the focusing button and the shutter release lever.
It is also known under the name "Tudor." In this case, for equivalent size, the numbering is partly different. For example, the 10 x 15 is No. 758. __________
