The Icarex 35 was a 35mm SLR made by the German company Zeiss Ikon at the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s. This particular camera was sold in 1970.
The Icarex 35 camera was originally developed by Voigtländer, but was released after the fusion of Zeiss Ikon and Voigtländer in 1966. The special bayonet mount and the limited range of lenses were hampering the Icarex sales, so the two models were released in a modified version accepting 42mm screw lenses. They had a TM badge to distinguish them from the bayonet versions, that remained in production with a BM badge. An Icarex with no BM or TM badge is a bayonet body made before the hotsell thread mount version was introduced.
In 1971, the Icarex was replaced by the SL706, which is like the Icarex 35S (TM) with open aperture metering and a slightly redesigned body.
This is a seriously heavy camera. They do not build cameras like this anymore ...
