Flexity 018 taking a break at Rivington Services on the M61 during its delivery journey to Blackpool.
It's the end of mating season and the lizards in the backyard are flexing. They are so caught up with putting on a display they hardly notice me shoving my macro lens in their face.
Edixa Flex (1958-60) Made Wirgin in the Former West Germany in the town of Wiesbaden, a Spa resort town in the state of Hesse. The Edixa Flex is series of 35mm SLR cameras, related to the Edixa Reflex series. There are several versions. The model pictured here is unmetered, the pentaprism is removable and can be substituted with a waist level finder. The mirror is of the non-returning type and requires the film lever to be advanced to return the mirror for viewing through the lens. It has a focal plane shutter with speeds 1/25-1/1000. The body is black or chrome.

Headed back to shore, his bowed wings remind me of some of the poses bodybuilders strike.

Put those spring shocks on the Rogue 4x4 Titan. Somehow makes it even look better despite how little of the springs you actually see.

I know which of these two is prettier, but that's a personal opinion and I freely admit I am not exactly unbiased.
The Contarex Special considerably exceeds the already not exactly petite Leicaflex in bulk. Keep in mind that the Special is considerably slimmer than the original Contarex "Bullauge", which has been incorrectly and non-sensically translated into English as "Bull's Eye". Bullauge means "porthole" - a ship's circular window with a solid metal frame (or "scuttle", for those who have a RN background), for obvious reasons.
Originally I didn't want a Contasaurus Rex. I certainly don't want the original one. I have a friend who has one. It doesn't work. He showed me how incredibly difficult it is just to get the top cover off. It's axiomatic that some collateral damage is incurred before you get to whatever you want to fix. No way I'll ever get one of those. But after shooting a few films with the Zeiss Ultron on an Icarex, and being delighted with the results, I can be forgiven for wanting to try a Planar on a ZI.
The Special is much simpler in layout. It's almost a normal camera. Almost, but not quite. It still is, tangibly and intimidatingly, a Contarex. But at least it doesn't have this horrendously complex, fragile and also spectacularly ugly (OK, that is just my opinion) selenium meter which would not be likely to work any more today.
The Contarex Special comes with a prism viewfinder that can easily be exchanged against a viewfinder and a plain ground glass focusing screen that can be exchanged against a Fresnel screen with a split image circle.
I only have the prism viewfinder and the plain focusing screen, but I find that focusing is rather easy with the Planar lens. The scene just appears to jump in and out of focus. However, a Contarex user should not expect (and won't get) a huge, bright viewfinder screen like in a Leicaflex.
