AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

It is the Contax MFB-1A 120/220 Film Insert, a roll-film insert for medium format designed for the Contax system. It allows using 120 and 220 films precisely and stably inside the dedicated back, and it is a highly sought-after accessory by collectors and users of the Contax medium-format system.

From the photos you can see that the item comes with its original case and box, a detail very interesting for sale on Catawiki. The construction appears solid, with metal mechanisms and black plastic components, typical of professional Japanese manufacturing. The identifying inscriptions “CONTAX MFB-1A 120/220” and “KYOCERA JAPAN” are visible, confirming model and origin.

The specimen shows normal signs of use consistent with age, but overall it seems in good cosmetic condition. It is a particularly interesting accessory for those who own Contax medium-format cameras and wish to bring the system back to full operability. Due to its rarity and the presence of the packaging, it represents a tempting lot for both collectors and analog photographers.
