Zeiss Ikon's German 6x6 TLR — fixed-lens Ikoflex on 120 film, leaf shutter, waist-level finder, 1934.

The Zeiss Ikoflex is a fixed-lens medium-format twin-lens reflex from the German maker Zeiss Ikon, first produced in the 1930s and made in many variants over the following decades. It was Zeiss Ikon's twin-lens line, a German answer to the growing TLR market, and carried the company's own lenses and shutters.

It is a twin-lens reflex shooting 6x6cm square frames on 120 roll film, twelve per roll. The lens is fixed, with a separate taking lens exposing the film and a viewing lens feeding the mirror and ground-glass screen. Focusing is by knob, the leaf shutter sits in the front lens standard rather than in the body, and composition is through a waist-level finder used from above. Later variants added coupled meters, though specifications differ across the range.

The Ikoflex is a German-built fixed-lens TLR that suits general shooting, portraits and landscape work at a deliberate pace, and is often bought by collectors as well as users. Build quality and the Zeiss lenses are frequently praised by owners. As a fixed-lens design it offers no lens changes, and features vary widely between the many variants, so identifying the exact model matters.

When buying a used Ikoflex, inspect the taking and viewing lenses for haze, fungus and separation, and check the focus knob for smooth travel. Test the leaf shutter across its speeds, as the older Compur-type shutters can run slow or stick with age. Confirm the film-wind and counter work, and inspect the ground glass for brightness. Any coupled meter on later variants is likely inaccurate now and should be checked against a separate meter.
