Description

This is a Zeiss-Ikon Contaflex Super, a 35mm Single Lens Reflex leaf shutter camera made by Zeiss in Stuttgart, West Germany between the years 1959 and 1962. It was part of the long-lived Contaflex series that saw many variations. This model, the Super, as its name implies was a rather high spec version of the camera, featuring a coupled selenium exposure meter with match needle readout in the viewfinder, and a 4-element leaf shutter Tessar lens with interchangeable front elements. With the use of Pro-Tessar bayonet mount lenses, the Contaflex had available wide-angle and telephoto lenses. (via mikeeckman.com)
