[Leica] Not a Leica, a ... Zeiss Ikon folding camera

I have had some fun with a Zeiss Ikon Nettar folding camera (pre-war) : the lens is a Novaron Anastigmat 1:4,5 = 10,5 cm, the shutter is a Prontor S, I used a 120 roll (400 ISO) and got about 7 pictures (picture size is 6x9 cm). I overexposed slightly, the speeds need some looking after ... I quite like the idea of still getting some correct pictures with a camera that's worth about $ 30 on the eBay market: who would want to shoot with a folding camera these days?

plus two other pictures of Strasbourg.
BTW: the cost of a picture (film + lab + scan)  is about $4 (local lab for the whole process) ...
