Contaflez users?
I just bought a Contaflex IV on eBay. Anyone have experience with this
or similar Zeiss Ikon cameras? I've already investigated online resources, downloaded a manyal,eyc. What I'm asking about id personal experience with the camera, the WA and tele Pro-Tessars, etc. -- "It is the individual alone who is timeless.

I got a Contaflex Super-B - it's superbe, for its age. I did not try it recently, since the selen cell might have aged by now. I've already investigated online resources, downloaded a manyal,eyc.

If you want something for real usage, get a newer and cheaper SLR. - Martin Thanks, Martin. I shoot digital almost exclusively, but get the urge to expose a roll of film from time to time. I am still interested in any real world experiences of Zeiss Ikon users. Believe me, I know what 'over-forty' cameras & lenses are like; some of my best optics are in that category. -- "It is the individual alone who is timeless.

Hi Tully,
I just bought a Contaflex IV on eBay. Anyone have experience with this or similar Zeiss Ikon cameras? I've already investigated online resources, downloaded a manyal,eyc. What I'm asking about id personal experience with the camera, the WA and tele Pro-Tessars, etc. My father from whom I inherited a ~1955 Contaflex told me that the pro-tessars were not so great. Still, if you'd like to have one, http://www.keh.com has them for a reasonable price. Good luck! -- Hans |
