ZI Contaflex Group
My Zeiss Ikon Contaflex family portrait. I am done with this bunch. I know there are more, but that’s it for me! I am simply not prepared to sacrifice any more shelf space to these SLR cameras. My plan has never been to acquire every Contaflex model in the product line, but just a diverse cross section of what was available. I currently have over 200 very nice collectable cameras displayed in my Man Cave. I am almost to a point where if another were to come in, one would have to go. I can't believe that I just said that!
From left to right: Contaflex Super, Prima, Super B, IV, and my personal favorite, the black Contaflex S!
Sometimes we lose context in our critiques and judge these vintage cameras like they are new models on the shelf. It shouldn’t matter now what the comparisons were between them 50 to 100 years ago, or how they may compare to cameras made today. Now they are all beautiful collector items and an important part of history!
