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.

Old Contax

Hello !

Anyone using Contax IIa or IIIa here?? I'm very interested to know more about this camera. The camera is a post-war classic camera, when I look at the camera, it seems very different from the rangefinder I see today (Leica M6 or Bessa R). I would like to know how to operate this camera & how does the meter works (selenium meter).

I'm currently using the Canonet QL17, and thinking of getting a interchangable lense rangefinder. Those camera without built-in meter is out of consideration because I don't know how to use them, and I don't want to carry another external meter.

Well, many people suggest me to use Voigtlander Bessa. It's a very good camera indeed, but there is some manufacturing quality problem (shutter, alignment problem), and I still prefer classic camera.

Please share with me your opinion. Thank you!
