Contax_Retro_Test_May2020

Happy birthday to me! Having survived another full decade, I was presented with a glorious Contax IIa (early black-dial model, with a lens from 1939)... Oh joy! Here's a selection of my first hasty test snaps – This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship...

    @captainfantastic Thanks! Contax was the king of rangefinders from the Thirties to the mid-Fifties (i.e. until Leica M3 was introduced). Zeiss turned to SLRs after that. If the Contaflex is as as well-made and precise as the Contax, you're in for a treat!
