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.

Will a Contax TLA200 flash fit on my Bessa R?
I'm attracted by the low profile and pretty good output of the TLA200, even though I know it won't be able to operate as a TTL-sensing unit. Does anyone know if the Contax foot will serve as a "universal" (manually operable) flash?

Same question for the Nikon SB-15...

Thanks!
Don

Just tried it. Fits perfectly and snugly on my R and fires. No problem whatever.

I was referring to the TLA 200 and Bessa R only.
