I have been using the "outdated" Contaflex 126 for some fun. As you probably know, it is a 126 camera, and takes the 126 film cassettes, although I am considering a mod to accept 35mm film.
The images are square, and actually have a nice "look" to them. I have the VERY nice Zeiss 40 Sonnar, the 40 Pantar, the 85 Distagon, and the 135 Tele-Tessar. Too bad this outstanding glass is proprietary to the Contaflex 126.
Anyway, here are a couple of sample pix from a cassette of Kodak 100 speed film; I went maybe a little too wild on sharpening, but you can at least see that the lenses are pretty good, and typical of the "colors" of Zeiss glass.
