Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515/2

[Jeff Canes]

Bought a Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515/2 on Ebay for $30, it came yesterday

Have a simple question. The lens has the standard “F” stop on one side of the lens. On the opposite side are the numbers “1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400” are these just odd old shutter speeds based on the fractions of a second the same the more comment modern speeds

Yes, makes figuring "sunny 16" pretty easy since those are also ISO numbers

Jeff- do you know what the filter size is on the 515. I have a 32mm slip on hood and maybe a filter or two I'm willing to sell. I'll have to check when i get home to see what I'm willing to part with. Most are B&W and are in mint condition. I got them from a friend in the Netherlands for my Nettar 517 and he sent extra goodies.
