Classic cameras - Zeiss Ikon Contessa 35.
The folding Zeiss Contessa 35 (model 533/24) was designed by Hubert Nerwin and made in Stuttgart during the effort to rebuild the Zeiss Ikon name after WWII. Produced between 1953-1955 Nerwin included elements from his Super Ikonta's design and specially the distinctive extra lens for the coupled rangefinder.
The camera was superbly made in every respect and was equipped with a coated f2.8 45mm Zeiss Optron Tessar lens, 9 speed Synchro Compur shutter, uncoupled Selenium exposure meter, MX flash synchronisation and coupled rangefinder. The latter having a prism rather than the usual mirror.
Above all was the high quality excellence of everything coupled with a very distinctive appearance.
