Analoge Kameraer Auktion (1950 - 2000)

Introduceret i 1953 af Zeiss Ikon Stuttgart, var Contaflex I et banebrydende milepæl inden for 35 mm-fotografering som en af de første enkeltlins-reflekskameraer at have en bladslukker mellem linsen koblet til en fast øjenhøjde pentaprismafindkig. Kendt for sin næsten lydløse Synchro-Compur-slukker, den usædvanligt lyse søgerøgt med delt billedrangefinder og den verdensberømte Carl Zeiss Tessar 45mm f/2.8 

Introduced in 1953 by Zeiss Ikon Stuttgart, the Contaflex I was a groundbreaking milestone in 35mm photography as one of the very first single-lens reflex cameras to feature a between-the-lens leaf shutter coupled with a fixed eye-level pentaprism. Renowned for its whisper-quiet Synchro-Compur shutter, exceptionally bright viewfinder with split-image rangefinder, and the world-famous Carl Zeiss Tessar 45mm f/2.8 "eagle eye" lens, this classic German camera represents the peak of post-war optical and mechanical engineering. Today, early Contaflex models in clean cosmetic condition are cherished by vintage collectors and classic analog camera enthusiasts worldwide.
