Chronology of cameras Zeiss Ikon
The Piccolette, initially manufactured by the Contessa-Nettel company in Stuttgart, continued to be produced after 1926, the year Zeiss Ikon was founded. It was clearly a response to Kodak's Vest-Pocket camera but lacked the ability to write on a portion of the film, as was the case with American Autographic versions. The models closely resembled each other, except for the front plate, with one end of it serving as a stand when in a vertical position.
The Piccolette features two viewfinders: a pivoting rectifying viewfinder hidden behind the front plate and a sports finder with its front frame sliding under this plate, and a reticle that slides into a round piece attached to the back. As is typical with Zeiss Ikon, there are numerous combinations of lenses and shutters available for this camera.
The Piccolette, initially manufactured by the Contessa-Nettel company in Stuttgart, continued to be so after 1926, when Zeiss Ikon was created. This is clearly a response to the Kodak's Vest-Pocket, but without the possibility of writing on a part of the film as it is the case with the American Autographic versions. The models are very similar except for the front plate, one end of which serves as a kickstand in the vertical position.
The Piccolette has two viewfinders : a rotating bright type hidden behind the front plate and a sports viewfinder whose front frame slides under this plate and a reticle that slides in a round piece on the back. As always with Zeiss Ikon, there are many combinations of lens and shutter.
