Review Summary
The Zeiss Ikon SW is the 35mm precision camera for uncompromising superwide photographers. This camera is fully integrated into the Zeiss Ikon system. Its lens mount takes any lens with M bayonet, in particular the Zeiss high performance superwide-angle lenses - Distagon T 2.8/15mm ZM and the Biogon T types from the Zeiss ZM range. An accessory shoe directly above the lens takes the corresponding superwide viewfinder. A second shoe is built in to take a flash, a bubble level or other accessory.
The electronically controlled metal focal plane shutter offers speeds ranging from 1/2000 sec - 8 sec in automatic mode (AE-lock is available) and 1/2000 - 1 sec. + B in manual mode. Fastest flash synchro speed is 1/125 sec. The Zeiss Ikon SW offers the same extremely high image quality as the known Zeiss Ikon rangefinder camera, far above today's digital cameras. The Zeiss Ikon SW comes without the complex rangefinder and is therefore considerably more affordable than the rangefinder camera.
