Go Back   Rangefinderforum.com > 35mm Film Range Finders > Zeiss Contax

Zeiss Contax Forum for the classic Zeiss Contax I, II, III, IIa, IIIa , G series, and if you want to push it, the nice Contax point and shoots. Some spill over from the Kievs, the Soviet copy of the Contax II/III can also be expected. Plus the ONLY production camera ever made in classic Zeiss Contax Rangefinder mount WITH TTL metering ... the Voigtlander Bessa R2C.

I love old contax glass, but as a glasses wearer I just can't deal with those old Contax/Kiev bodies. Maybe one day I'll steal a Contax mount bessa from someone and pick up some lenses.

I agree with you. I wear glasses too and it is sometimes a pain to look through that tiny viewfinder.
