Description from the seller
Up for auction is a classic, sturdy and fascinating vintage 35mm rangefinder camera with a historic flavor: the Zeiss Ikon Contax IIIa, produced in Germany by Zeiss Ikon starting from 1951.
The lot is presented in good overall condition, functional, and is complete with its front lens cap.
Optics: The original Zeiss-Opton Sonnar 50mm f/2 lens appears structurally intact, clean and free of superficial scratches or traces of internal mold or fungus.
Mechanical: The lot has been tested and is functioning.
Aesthetic: Good overall condition of the camera body and the lens barrel, as documented by the photographs. The solid two-tone metal construction retains a good collectible visual impact, free of structural dents.
