Are you trolling or are you actually serious?
Take KR about 6% serious. He's such a tool most of the time.

And to OP: Which Ikon is it? There's a TON of different ones (fxed and non-fixed lens versions). They're generally pretty good camera's though

I believe its fixed lens, but i could be wrong because it is currently at my uncles house and i havent looked at it thoroughly yet.

Yeah, we're going to need more details to tell you what specific model is, but generally, anything made by carl zeiss is going to be fantastic. We owe so much in terms of lens design, such a great company!

Really? I would say he's right about 94% of the time, excluding the material written in jest. He doesn't sugarcoat things, which is why camera fanboys hate him, but I find his opinions to be spot on most of the time.
