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.
Ica offered a wide range of non-stereo view cameras, which can be classified as follows:
Cameras with a single-extension vertical bellows: Niklas, Alpha, Lola, Teddy, Corrida, Icar (Ikarus), Sirene, Volta, Victrix, and two models with automatically extending bellows upon opening: Atom and Cupido.
Cameras with double-extension vertical bellows: Delta, Hekla, Reicka, Orix, Trix, Minimal, Toska, Trona, Maximar, Nelson, and Ideal.
Cameras with horizontal bellows, exclusively in the 13 x 18 format: Ingo, Jul, and Triplex; the last two have triple extensions.
Square format cameras: Favorit, Tropica, Juwell, and Universal Palmos.
Travel cameras: Amateur, Elegant, Kosmopolit, Hochtourist, and Perfekt. Also, there are studio cameras, with the largest format being 80 x 100 cm.
Finally, there are less common early Ica cameras, such as Minimum Ideal, Superba-Reicka, Reicka-Quer, and Superba-Ideal. Additionally, there are cameras from that same period that lack identification numbers, can be found in multiple categories, and are not listed in catalogs.

This imposing folding is on 10x15cm format, plate or plan film. Lens Carl Zeiss Jena TESSAR, focal 16.5 cm. Aperture F: 4.5, graduated: 4.5 - 6.3 - 9 - 12 - 18 -- 25 - 36. Other lenses were proposed : a baldour, a zeiss tessar 4.5, or a "double Protar zeiss Jena." Shutter ICA, Poses T, B, and snapshot from 1 second to 1/150, filet for flexible trigger. Vertical shift by toothed crown and horizontal shift by button.
The camera has two viewfinders. Above the lens, a large viewfinder type reflector with a bubble level and rotating, it is bright and very usable, unlike the majority of such devices from other cameras.
On the left flank of casing, an optical viewfinder that folds out, the lens being fitted with a reticule - but it seems to me, given the setting, that the viewfinder is not original.
Viewfinders these allow a first frame, but the composition and the final focusing takes place on the frosted glass.
This frosted glass is mounted on a wooden frame at the time of the shooting he is replaced by a metal frame containing a plate or plan film.
Originally three chassis were supplied with the camera.
Focusing with dual extension allows to do macro picture or the use of long focal length, total extension of bellows reaching 32 centimeters.
