Contax and Carl Zeiss
The Contax cameras, produced in collaboration between Yashica/Kyocera (for the body) and Carl Zeiss (for the optics), are renowned for the excellent quality of their lenses, especially the standard Planar 50mm f/1.7 lens, highly appreciated for its sharpness and beautiful bokeh (background blur). They show signs of use given their age, as seen in the photo.
