Tbe most important features of tbe supERIKoNrA IV

The lens is a zrrss rEssARf : z.s/zs mm which for
many years has been famous all over ,the world. It
is, of course,coated and colour corrected and yields '
black and white as well as colour pictures of unsurpassedbrilliance and definition.
The built-in rangefinderis coupled to the lens and
ensurescorrect focusing. It is combined with the
oiewfinder,which mearisthat the distancesetting and
the imagefield can be observedsimultaneously.
The red dot settingincreasesthe versatility of the
camera and makes it ready for action any time you
want to take candid shots.
The built-in pboto-electricexposuremeter ensures
the correct exposuretime for black and white and
colour films even in poor lighting conditions.Thi;
experiencegathered in 20 years of making photoelectricexposuremetershas borne good fruit in the
SUPER

set to shutter speeds from 1 second to 1/roo second

and time exposures of any period. A synchro-contact'n
;t
enables coupling to all types of flashguns and there
is also a delayed action rnechanism built-in.
I
The interlo&.ed shutter tensioninQ and film adoance'
combined with the frame counter sirnplify the operation of the camera and exclude double exposures
and blanks automaticalll'.
A No. 120 ro11 film should be used with the supER TKoNTAgiving 12 negatives in the 21/E" x2rlc"
(6x6 cm) size.

the shutter is tensionedornotor whatdistancethelens

for immediate use. lVhen a filter is screwed in,
however,the camera can be closed only when the
lens is set to oo.

Measuringthe ligbt value

Prior to each exposurethe light value necessaryfor
the exposure should be measured with the built-in
photo-electricexposuremeter. (lll. 4). You can rely
absolutelyon the reading even if the lighting conditions are poor and no matter whether the camera
is loaded with bl4pk and white or colour negative or
reversalfilm.
First thing to do is to set the exposuremeter to the
speedof the film in use. The inner disc is turned by
means of the small button (2) until the black stroke
mark at the right-hand window (seen in the taking
direction) coincides rvith the DlN-speed or that at
the left window with the ASA speedof the film in
use. The disc can also be set to intermediatevalues.
If the makers of the film have used film speedratings
other than DIN and ASA the correspondingvalues
can be found in the table on page 11.
The speed of colour films cannot be determined as
with blackand white films sinceall filrn rating systems
are based on values obtained from black and white
film. The film manufacturers,therefore, give the
speedof their colour films by comparisonwith black
and white films,recommending
like . . .".
,,tobe exposed
In general this method has proved quite reliable,
but to make quite sure, you can calibrate your
exposuremeter for the colour film used by exposing

severalframesof the sameobject with different shutter speeds.

To determinethe light value the flap of the exposure
meter should be opened by pressing button ( 19)
slightly to the left. The supER rKoNrA rv is then
directed to the object so as it is intendedto be taken.
This will carrsethe white pointer (3) to deflect. By
turning the adjusting ting (1) the small white circular mark is moved so that it appears symmetrically on top of the pointer when looked at from
above.The light value'required(red figure) can now
be read off from the adjusting ring and will be found

opposite the red triangle mark placed on the setting

disc for the film speed.
If the exposure time is found to become longer than
1 second the shutter must be set to ,,B" (see page 12)
and the exposure times in seconds (black figures)
should be read off the adjusting ring. They are opposite the various stop of the diaphragm placed on
the inner disc of $t, film speed windows. The figures
can be continued by doubling the last value. lf , for
instance, a measurement results in an exposure time
of 8 seconds at ,[ z 8, the exposure tirne should be
1 6 s e c o n d sa t f : l l ,

3 2 s e c o n d sa t [ : 1 6 a n d 6 4 s e or 1 mifiute - at [ :22. The light value or

Settingtbeligbtoalue
Pull out the grooved lever (11) a little and set its
setting mark to the figure required on the light value
scale(9). Half light values can also be set when indicated by the exposuremeter (ill. 5).

Since this lever has a

limited travelling space
only1 the light value
can sometimesonly be
set by also turning the
adjustirrg ring (9) on
which the light value
scale is placed.
$7hen the correct light
value has been set the
diaphragm and the
shutter speed are coupled. The amount of light necessary for the correct exposureof a film is always
determined by the size of the lerrs aperture (diaphragrn) and the time the light is effective(exposure
time). The figure of the light value denotesthe correct pairing of diaphragm and shutter speed for the
prevailing lighting conditions.If the shutter speedis
altered by one or two values of the scale after the
light value has been set, the coupling will set the
diaphragnl automatically (17) to the correct ratio
ancl vice versa.

Settinstheshutterspeed
Turn the milled front ring (9) until its mark (black
dot) is opposite the shutter speed required. The
various shutter speedsare placed on scale(15). The
f igures engraved on this scale indicate fractions of

a second (60 - tluo second, etc.). \Yith the setting

,,8" the shutter remains open as long as the release
knob (21) is depressed(see page 22). The shutter is
tensionedby p.rshingthe cockinglever (7) to the left,
until it stops (seerrfrom the taking direction). It is
immaterial whether the shutter speed is set prior to
tensioning or after it'.*.- i

Settin!tbediapbragm
Turn the same millecl ii,',g (9) until the red mark is
oppositethe stop required (scale 17).
tVith one light value once determined only such,
combinationsof diaphragm and shutter speedwhich'
result in a correctly exposednegative can be set. It
is recommendedto place the thumb on the light
value lever (11) and the index finger on the opposite
side of the adjusting
ring (9). (Seeillustr.6).
This manipulation prevents an unintentional
changirg of the iight
value.
If , after having determined the .light value,
the stop becomes so
small that a time exposure (shutter setting

,,8") is indicated the exposuretime required is 2 seconds. If it is intended to use a snraller stop (to do
this pull out lever (11) as it is dcne for the settingof
the light value), the exposuretime required can be
read off from the exposuremeter as describedon page
10. This means, of course/that the light value setting
is out of action. Vhen the shutter setting is changed
from ,,8" to one pf the various shutter speeds,the
light value must also be re-set in the first place.

Melsuring the distance

The object distance is determined by means of the
built-in rangefinder. Looking through the eyepiece
(24) of the cornbinedview/rangefinder,you see the
image as it will be recorded by the camera but with
a light square portion in its centre in which the

14

www.orphancameras.com

outlines of the object will

appear double (ill. 7). By
turning the milled, ring
( 10) vrith the middle finger of the left hand these
double outlines in the
centre of the measuring
field can be broughg "to
(The best obcoirrcidence.
jects f or obtainirg an
accurate focus are vertical lirres, such as the edge of
a house,a tree, etc.) (ill. 8). As soon as the contours
coincidethe lens is accurately focusedat the correct
distancerequired.Moreoverfthe correctdistancemay,
be read off frorn the blacl..distance setting mark oll'
the scale(12) of the lens ring (ill. 9).

oft'teld
Deptb
When the lens is focusedon sornedefinite object distance it yields a sharp picture not only of the object
at this distance but also of those objects that are :
nearer to the camera or further away from it. This t
zone of sharp definition is called the depth of field
which, however, is rather srnall when the diaphragm
is fully open (stop f :3.5). The depth of field increases gradually the more the lens is stoppeddown.
The depth of field for any given lens aperture and
distancecan be read off from the depth-of-fieldring

15

(13). Diaphragm figures

will be found on the right
and left side of the distance
setting mark. The figures
on the distancescale (12)
oppositethese stop figures
indicate the extent of the
depth of field. The strokes
without figures beside the
triangularnrarkindicatethe
depth of field at stop f z4
and the strokesbetween8 and 16 that of stop f : 11. .
For instance: \When focused at 15 ft the stroke for
f :77 on the right-hand side indicates48 ft, that on
the left-hand side a little more than 9 ft. Focusedon

reachingfrom approx. 9 ft. in the foreground,to 48 ft
in the background. The exact range of the depth of
field can be found in the iable on page 33.
A different way of utilizing the depth of field is this:
the range that is required to be sharp is measured
with the rangefinder, f irst the f oreground then the
background. The necessary stop to cover this p'articular depth of field is then determinedby the deptho f- f i e l d r i n g ( 1 3 ) .

How to holdthecamera
The supER IKoNIA tv must be held as steady as possible during exposure/ if sharp negatives are to be
obtained. It is one of the advantages of the sqLlare
format that no weighty decisior-ris needed as to
whether to take an object with the carnera in a horizontaT or vertical position.
Hold the camera r^rith both hands, the fingers spanning the camera body while the thumbs are on the
back. The middle finger of the left hand operates the
-fhe
index finger
milled ring (10) of the rangefinder.
of the right hand releases the shutter (21).

www.orphancameras.com

When looking trough the view lrungefinder with the

right

eye the camera must be held as shown in

illustr. 13.In this case the left eye should be closed.

It is, therefore, more convenient to use the left eye;
for sighting through the eyepiece,since then the right
eye need not be closed (ill. 14). Instantaneous exposures of a longer duration than 1/s, second and time
exposures should always be rnade from a tripod or
some other firm support. The srrpER TKoNTArv has
a tripod bush at the base of the carnera.

theshutter
Hsw to relense
The shutter is releasedby completelydepressingthe
body shutter release knob (21). Do not press but
squeezethe button gently without a jerk, taking up
the slackin the releasingmechanismslowly. Releasing
the shutter is possibleonly if :
1. the film is corAectlyadvanced (see page 22)
2. the shutter is tensioned(see page 13).

Ftlmaduance
After every exposurethe film must be advancedone
frame by turning the film wind krrob (20) uritil it
stops ill. 15). The sarne movement automatically advances the frame-counter (23) by one figure. The
frame counter indicatesthe number of the film frame
which is ready for exposure.Since the film can be
advanced only when the shutter release has been
depressed (21), while on
the otherhand releasittgthe
shutteris only possiblewhen
the film has been advanced, double exposuresand
blanks are excluded.

white marks on the film guide of the carnera(ill. 17).
The backing paper must lie flat between the flanges
of the take-up speol and must on no account chafe
them. Then clos6 the back of the camera and push
the locking bar (8) completely home. The film wind

The lens hood prevents irradiations and fog in

against-the-light pictures. A lens hood is just as
useful with a coated lens as with an uncoatedone,
it protects the lens from rain and snow. The zErss
rxos lens hood ldiameter 32 mm) can be slipped
over zErss rKoN precision
filters and the zErss
P R o x A Rl e n s e s .
ot,.
It may happen that the lens hood has some influence
on the correct functioning of the exposufe meter.
\Zhen in doubt, the lens hood should be slipped on
to the lens after the use of the photo-electric exposure meter.

Flashligbt
photography
For f lashlight exposures the zErss IKoN
IKoBLrrz
flashguns
have proved to be
especially
suitable.
The rKoBlrrz o (ill.
19) is a very handy
capacitor
flashgun
indeed. By means of
a test lamp the flashbulb can be tested
before firing.,,This
flashgun rs supplied
with a practical zipfastener bug. The
rKOBLrrzlII is another
capacitor
flashgun
with all the refinements essentialfor the
discriminating amateur. This gun can also be used for
large flashbulbs with Edison screw-in caps.
The electronic flashgun Zeiss Ikon IKorRoN is especially designed for press photographers and l<een
amateurs. Ask your dealer for leaflets of these zEISS
rKoN accessorles.

In order to keep the image field of the viewfinder

free from the dangling flash lead the flashgun is
connected to the shutter by the more convenient
zErss rKoN angle-plug (Order No. 1340), as can be
s e e ni n F i g . 7 2 o n p a g e 1 8 .

Exposures
u)itbartit'icialltght
Exposures with artificial light are easily mastered by
using the MovrlrrM universal lighting unit. This
practical accessory is supplied with two reflectors,
but can also be equipped rvith 4 or 6 reflectors. The
MOVTLuMcan be connected to the camera in the sanle

:
i

in

way as a flashgun by means of a special bracket so

that the light will always fall on to the subject no
matter whether the taking direction is changedor not,
since every reflector can be moved individually to
give the light required.
