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.

Finally found a proper vintage hood for the 50/1.5 Sonnar. It says "WALZ for Sonnar".

Contaxes are a real "Mechanical Rhapsody" with all sorts of buttons, dials, and funky looking protruding bits. I think this late model Contax 1 is the prettiest camera I own. Everything works extremely well. The added PC terminal is installed very neatly, and provides a reliable X sync at 1/25.



Cheers,
Dez

I finally got around to fixing mine. Now I have to start using it more.

Aren't those Walz hoods great, BobYIL? I've had mine for a year now.
