The selection of models offered herein has been made with the utmost care, to meet the requirements of the American photographic public. All models take standard American plates or films, they have American size tripod sockets, distances are marked in feet, the diaphragms are engraved in the familiar F' system, and instruction books are in English. The lens equipments include the world renowned Carl Zeiss Tessars. In New York a service shop is maintained, well stocked with all necessaryrepair parts, repairs being made by thoroughly trained mechanics. Ica Cameras are sold all over the world by leading dealersin cameras and photographic supplies. www.orphancameras.com q@ s\>/ ' / ?.tltrcr fcarette .-/| f rr F'or those who require a camerawith a minimum number of adjustments,simplicity of desigttand sturdy construction, and to whom price is an impor tant consideration,the Junior Icarettes will make a strong appeal.

Although a miniature camera, making pictur es 21/ *ZLA inches,using any, make of roll film, the Icarerte B measures over all 1r/x3%x4|Ainches and weighs15 ounces. It is a suitable camera to carry constantly, readily fitting the pocket. The many opportunities to make pictures that present themselvesduring our daily routine amply j.rr tify havitrg the Icarette B as one's constant companion. Its field of picture making is almost unlimired when equippedwith the faster lensesand Cornpur Shutter. Excellent results are obtainable even when the sky is overcast. The extreme shutter speed, | /300 of a second,will catch rapidly movittg objects such as airplanesin flight, races,and athletic events. I t is equally capable of portraiture and interior work. The high quality of the lensesfurnished insuresexceptionalresultsin enlargingfrom Icarette negatives. The pictuie it makes, size2% " ZtZ inches,lends itself particularly well to enlargitg, as being squ are)it mav easily be proportioned in enlarging to a vertical or horizontal print. www.orphancameras.com Ica ( ameras f /.1 L/ The Icarette B is also furnished with a pl ate back so that plates 4rh x 6 cm. (IV4 x 2% inches) may be used. It is fitted with rising front, the movement of which is accurately indicated by the Iconometer finder with which the camera is eq.uipp:d. The Iconometer is absolutely accurate uttq p9rmlrs uslng the camera at eye level. A brilliant indirect finder is also fitted. The lensesfurnished with the Icarette B have a focallength of three inches and are as followsi Hekla f :6.8, Domi nar {24.5and ZeissTessar f :4.5. F'ocusingis done by a lever focusing adjustment to as close as three feet. The Icarette B is unexcelledas a miniature camerafor pictures under all conditions from which perfect enlargementsup to 11 x 14 inchescan be made.

The method of loading is extremely simple, as the entire bac www.orphancameras.com Nuc ) CD T r. . Icarette The V. P. Icarette makes pictures size I % x 2Yz inches -pictures that are not only as good, but which would be actually impossible to produce with a large camera. Its shutter is the Compur, with a range of speedsfrcm one to 1l300th of a second. This speed arrests motion in photographing rapidly moving objects, such as athletes in action, races, diving, aeroplanes in flight. F'rom these negatives enlargements B x 10 inches, or even larger, can be made with splendid resulrs. The best professional motion pictures are made with Carl Zeiss Tessar lenses on a film even smaller than the film used in the V. P. Icarette, yet we all marvel at the www.orphancameras.com - Jr fnn /a t('a I\-/ ameras perfect detail in motion pictures, even when enlarged to t h e s i z eo f a t h e a t r ec u r t a i n . With the V. P. Icarette the three-inchCarl ZeissTessar lensf:4.5 producesdepth of field with illumination and definition the same as it does in the movies. For such accuracy the camera must be absolutely free from any mechanicaldefects;it must be substantiallybuilt, and dependable. The V. P. Icarette is the refinement of these important qualities-it is just about all that a little cameracan be. It is entirely of metal construction,finished in polishedblack enamelwith nickel trimmings, and covered with fine grain leather. Besidethe usual brilliant refecting finder, it has an Ica Iconometer finder. This consistsof a wire frame and sight enabling the user to observethe subject to be photographed full size from the level of the eye. The V. P. Icarette may be used in either horizontal or vertical positions. The shutter can be operated with its fexible cable releaseon time or bulb for slow exposuresof any duration. Thus this very versatile little camera is as suitable for interior pictures and even portraiture as it is for snapshots. As a snapshotcamerait can be usedin many instanceswhere larger cameraswould fail completely. Due to the small size film used, the V. P. Icarette is a very economical camera to operate. In fact, it costs no more to use a V. P. Icarette having postcard-sizeenlargements made than to use a postcard-sizecamera. The results are as good if not better, the camera is easier to operate, and far more convenient to carry.

There is also a vertical swing back, quite an innovation in such a small camera. One of the most important features of the Ica Ideal B is the Iconometer,the most accuratefinder that can be fitted to a carnera. Holding the camera at the eye's level, the view is observed through the Iconometer. As the metal frame moves with the lens forward, backward, up or down, every variation in the angle view, due to extending the bellows, also any horizontal or vertical movement is accurately registered. A large brilliant reflecting finder is also provided. As in the smaller sized Ica Ideal A, the plate holders, film pack adapter and back, clamp on. The large focusing hood completely surrounds the ground-glass,o-bviating the use of a focusing cloth. Should the size of 3Y+ * 4l(. inches be desirable for some work, metal kits are furnished for both plate holders and film pack adapter so that either 9 x 12 centimeteror 3tA x 4ty' inch plates or film packs may be used.

When closed, the metal cover of the focusitrghood protects the ground glass. 18 www.orphancameras.com fca (ameras The Iconometer wire finder is the most accurate of all camera finders. It indicates correctly the view included when the front is elevated or lowered, as well as the lateral movement. Even when a supplementary lens such as the ZeissDis tar is used,the Iconometer shows the correct view. An automatic take-up prevents the bellows from sagging and cutting off part of the picture. When the bellowsis extended this take-up releases,and when the camera is agarn closedthe take-up engageson the bellowssupports. The maximum bellows extension is ten inches, so that objects within twelve inches of the camera may be photographed without using a supplementary lens.

Of utmost importance is the Carl Zeiss Tessar lens, its largeworking apertureof f :1.5beingsuitablefor interiorportraiture, u.,io.htomes, exposures in poor light; in fact, whereverperfect optical correctioncombined with extreme speedis required, the Tessar is unequalled. For wide angle photographs with an extreme wide angle lens, the front adjustmentsof the Juwel permit dropping the camerabed, also tilting the lens panel to any required angle. The front of the Juwel has extreme vertical and horizontal movementsoperated by screw adjustments. Both the front and back of the camerahave swing adjustmentsso that even when the camerais pointed upward at an angle the lens and plate may be set vertical and parallel to each other. These adjustmentsare the same as illustrated on page 23, showing thl Universal Palmos. The great advantage in working with a camerahaving these important adjustments will be readily understood. In photographing many' subjects these movementsare absolutelyessentialto enableone to obtain the best results. The bellows extension is eighteen inches and may be extendedby either front or rear rack and pinio-n. This makes possible the use of a Carl Zeiss Distar lens for telephoto effects with the Dominar or Carl Zeiss Tessar lensesf 24.5or the single element of the Carl Zeiss Amatar f:6.8 or Protar f :6.3 may be used. With the Juwel are included three double wooden plateholders,film pack adapter and cable shutter release. 25 www.orphancameras.com fca Trobica I Designedfor use in the tropics, the Ica Tropica has proven a most satisfactory camera with various expeditions where an ordin ary camera would utterly fail. The body of the Tropica is constructed of thoroughly seasonedteak wood highly polished. All corners are reinforced with metal and all metal parts such as the hinged-bed,side-bracesrhandleends,back, etc., arebolted to the hard teak wood. All metal parts are heavily nickeled or enamelled,and the leather bellows is especially treated to resist the attacks of tropical insects. There is ample horizontal and vertical front movement operatedby screw adjustment.

Then there is the added efficiency of the focal plane shutter with speeds ranging from U50th to Ll1000th part of a second. The Tessar f:2.7 (3 1/B inches) gives sufficient depth of field so that its full aperture may be used when it would be absolutely necessary to use a relatively small diaphragm with a lens of say six inch focus.

In, the Ica Refex the picture is shown right side up, exactly as it will be in the finishedpicture, except for color and being reversedright and left. The shutter can remain set while the image is being viewed on the ground glass, and the moment it appears at its best the exposure can be made. It provides a positive means of focusing, the comfort of 30 www.orphancameras.com working without a focusing cloth or a tripod, and shows an upright image.

The focusing hood is large and square in shape so that the corners of the Eound glassmay be easily observed. Upon releasingit, the hood springs to an erect Position. The relecting mirror is silvered on the upper surface. In reflex carnerashaving an ordinary mirror a double image is caused by the upper as well as the lower surface reflecting an image which frequently causestrouble in focusing. The bellows capacity of the Ica Reflex is 9 inches. Another feature often found most useful on the Ica Reflex is the infinity indicator. This consists of a spring actuated stud which slips into a slight indentation on the focusing scale, causing it to stop when the point of infinity is reached. The scale is marked in distances up to 3 feet. The front has rising and falling adjustment, a necessity in eliminating foreground or in taking in high buildings, etc. The speed dial of the Ica Reflex shows six speeds, l/15, l/30, 1/60, 1/150, l/350, l/1000 of a second, for instantaneous exposures, this being a sufficient assortment of speedsfor every possible condition. The body of the camera is constructed of mahogany and covered with the finest quality selected morocco leather. The metal parts are finished in black enamel. The lenses regularly fitted to the Ica Reflex are the Ica Dominar and Tessar f:4.5 of 6 inches focus and Carl Zeiss Triotar f:3.5, ? inches, and Tessarf:2.7,6 U2 inches focus. 31 www.orphancameras.com fca /olcling&ft* The lca Folding Reflex has most of the important features of the regular model with exception of the reversible back and bellows capacity.

Nothing has been sacrificedin the quality, durability or constructionof the Kinamo, although it is the smallestpracticalnstandard size motion picture camera made. f t is not a playlfuittg; in fact, I(inamo pictures of standard size are equal to the best work the most expensive professional cameta can produce. The Kinamo is made in two sizes,Model A for 50 feet of film, and Model B for 80 feet, and it is as readily loaded as the average'rollfilm camera,but is much easierto operate. 40 www.orphancameras.com f ICA (/.1 AmerAS l-/ The focal length of the lens of the Kinamo is 40 m/m, so that with a moderate lens opening everything from 6 feet beyond will be sharp. Exposures are made by turning the crank two turns per second,or, if individual exposuresare to be made, the crank is changed to the one stop movement when each turn will make one exposure. There is a scenepunch which may be pressedat the end of each scene,making a dent in the center of the film. The film counter indicates the amount of film used in feet. The regular lens furnished with the Kinamo is the Carl ZeissTessar f 23.5,the same lens with which the best movies are made. The Dominar, which is less expensive, is -also an excellent lens and can be depended upon to produce beautiful results. Either lens may be focusedto as closeas 3 feet. The Kinamo is supplied with a substantial wooden tripod and a panoram top. The Model A weighs 2% pounds, and its dimensionsare 4% x 21/ x 6 inches.
