Zeiss Ikon Contessa LK and Zeiss Ikon Continette, 35 mm cameras with Carl Zeiss lenses, functional condition: tested and working.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


Two classic 35mm rangefinderless cameras from Zeiss Ikon from the 1960s, both with genuine Carl Zeiss optics.

Zeiss Ikon Contessa LK

Lens: Carl Zeiss Tessar 50mm f/2.8

Shutter: Prontor-LK, 1/15 – 1/500s + B

Built-in selenium light meter (works without batteries)

Bright viewfinder, compact and solidly built – ideal entry into analogue photography.



2. Zeiss Ikon Continette

Lens: Carl Zeiss Lucinar 45mm f/2.8

Shutter: Pronto, fully mechanical

Simple, reliable viewfinder camera; a lighter, minimalist counterpart to the Contessa.




Condition

Both cameras are in good used condition with normal signs of wear consistent with age; see photos for the exact cosmetic condition.

The glass appears clear with minimal dust. No noticeable scratches are visible.

Film advance and shutter running (not tested with film or for precise times).

The Contessa LK's selenium light meter has not been tested for accuracy; therefore, its operation is not guaranteed.

Interior clean, no rust or heavy corrosion visible.


Because these are vintage mechanical cameras, all are sold as untested/without warranty, as is common with collectibles.
