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.
In 1912, to simplify categorization, non-stereo folding cameras from Ica can be divided into two groups.
The first group includes the Icarette cameras. Before the war, only those in the 6 x 6 format were available, using 117 film with 6 exposures. Other formats would be introduced after 1918.
The second group encompasses other folding models, starting from the simplest, which include the Halloh, Lloyd, and Nixe models. Additionally, there are two Lloyd-Cupido models: the 540, produced from 1910 to 1915, and the 560, manufactured from 1922 to 1925. The term "Cupido" indicates that opening the camera automatically readies it for use.
There is not yet a self erecting system for this small device. You have to open the bed and slide the lens stand up to the stop. The focus is via a cursor that is moved alongside a graduated scale made of ivory.
We may highlight two particular features: the sports viewfinder eyepiece is also used, when pushed, to close the red window on the back and the film rolls supports are attached to the back so that you can load it with a new roll then you put it back on the camera body.
