Frank the one that came with my camera fits that discription. It's marked Ziess Ikon Stuttgart. I wonder if it's the original.

Rich, your Contaxt setup is so gorgeous, if you ever decide to get rid of it, I'd be delighted to buy or trade.Rich Silfver said:Oh and...:

John,
I have a hood exactly like yours and I believe it is listed in a Zeiss Catalog that I have from around 1957. So I would say it is the real Mc Coy.

That's it? That's all the contacx cameras out there. I would have thought there were more.

My G2/G1 set looks just like Socke's except it's mostly black, not sure if it's worth a picture...flashover said:

I have several, just don't have any good pics. I have a bunch of pics taken for insurance purposes, but nothing very flattering, unfortunately. Contax If, circa 1935.

Yes, the paint is original, and it works great too.

Contax IIIA & Sonnar 300mm lens (mirror box)
Contax IIIA & Sonnar 300mm lens (mirror box)
My humble contribution. My Contax IIIA, color dial and a HUGE Sonnar F:4 300mm lens with mirror box (reflex box). I found this beautiful lens five years ago in a antique shop here in Sao Paulo. It is a pre-war model and not coated but still an excellent lens when I shoot wide open (most in black & white film). I´m looking forward to post some picture result here but I d´ont have a scanner yet! In the mean time look at my 3 pictures of the lens/contax and enjoy (I hope)! Looking at the proportion between camera and lens you can see what i´m talking about!
