An EX condition Zeiss Ikon Contaflex 35mm camera. Carl Zeiss Tessar 50mm f/2.8 lens.
everything works on this camera, even the shutter timer. aperture and shutter ring are smooth. camera is very clean.
VERY little wear on this camera. you can see just a little wear on the back (see pictures) other than that, this baby is near show quality!
Shes heavy, but a beautiful camera. I don't shoot film myself, but I have a great appreciation for the elegance of older cameras. As much as I love looking at this one, its time to let her go to someone that will use her again. Honestly, i really don't know much about this camera, and if a few of our film veterans that are very older camera savvy would like to weigh in on this, i would appreciate it. I realize shes not a Leica or a Hassy, so there may be limited interest in this, but she really is a nice workhorse camera.
most of you already know how the donations go.
(ALL rules and criteria are subject to me and my wife's discretion and may be changed and/or the donation cancelled at any time for any dumb old reason)
camera is FREE to good home (shipping is on us)
If interested, post HERE with your current film camera setup and why you want this camera.
(PM's and Emails may or may not get considered) [(probably not)]

so..there she is folks. if you are smitten by her simplistic and elegant charm, post here to be taken into consideration.
I also have a leather case that was from a larger film camera, but the zeiss fits in there. I'll throw it in just because i have nothing better to do with it.
plus, it may be a bonus if you already have a camera it will fit properly on. Good luck, and I hope to see this one in a new loving home soon.
