Very impressive. It is surprising that there are no issues of film flatness with such a huge surface in rollfilm.
The 3A are very popular but I had never heard about Zeiss 122 folders.

Stunning photos, especially those of the glacier. The modified format works well.

Beautiful! Good to see another person who enjoys getting some use out of the discontinued-format-cameras.

I am Danny Partridge here. The Red headed stepchild.  Welcome and I see you used guides to keep the film Flat on the edges. One thing I discovered when doing a conversion is that Modern film is a little thinner and adjusting the pressure plate is sometimes needed. I see you have no problem with that though. Oh and my French is so bad it make French who don't even know English speak in English just to shut me up. |

Good work on that conversion. Installing a new film mark port must have taken a bit of head scratching. And the finder is fantastic. All it needs now is a bubble level.
Love the cathedral and glacier shots. And all the others are great too.
Welcome to the forum, Yannick.

There are 2 Zeiss Nixe : the smallest one used 118 rollfilm and after conversion, I can take 6 photos, image size is 5,5 x 10,7 cm. The biggest one used 122 rollfilm and after conversion, the size of the 5 images is 5,7 x 13 cm.
Nixe cameras were originally made by Ica company. In 1926, with the merge of 4 German companies (Ica, Contessa Nettel, Ernemann and Goerz), Zeiss Ikon firm was created. Zeiss made this Nixe with its name on it. On my Nixe 122, I have the 2 names : Ica written on the back and Zeiss Ikon inside the body and on the shutter...
