Other photo equip. boards out there?

[Anonymous]

I thought I'd ask the pros here rather than search blindly...

I have an old camera that my father gave me. It is a Zeiss Ikon that he purchased in Germany either shortly after or during WWII. I've been looking for sites that have actual photos of the different style of cameras as well as any potential value (for insurance reasons). I know it's not a 35mm.. I have no idea what format this thing utilizes (I'm not a die hard like that). I've tried a google on Ziess Ikon, and the sites I found are utterly confusing. Can any of you recommend a message board/site that may help me find out what this camera is?

I've hung out at www.photosig.com and www.usefilm.com before, both of which have message boards. I haven't found any photo site that has a phpBB setup like RDO, though. :-(

You might also try www.photo.net.

although it is more art related, there is a pretty extensive photography forum at www.wetcanvas.com . there are a few people there that are camera buffs - especially the older cameras.

I think I mentioned this in the photo forum, but I recently found www.thephotoforum.com . It's a php site just like RDO, but all about photography.
