Zeiss Ikon Contessa 1950 Vintage cameras, Old cameras, Retro camera
The Contessa is wonderfully finished and beautifully over-engineered, a proud product of Zeiss. By modern standards the Contessa's 45/2.8 Zeiss Tessar is still a fine performer, but I would forget about the built in selenium meter, even if it works. The earlier version (1950-53) has a Compur Rapid shutter and X sync.

The Zeiss-Ikon Contessa 35 was designed as a premiere compact 35mm camera to compete with other highly regarded German made compact 35mm folding cameras like the Kodak Retina and Voigtlander Vitessa. These were all precision made, fully mechanical cameras that were thought to offer the best of what Germany had to offer in the fixed lens folding.

This is the last model to carry the famed Contessa name for Zeiss Ikon. The Contessa S 310 was released in the early 1970s. The camera used the classic Tessar lens mated with a Prontor 500 S electronic shutter. The camera offers aperture-priority automatic exposure. The S 310 is quite diminutive and packs a considerable amount of features into it.

Zeiss Ikon Contina II (524/24) - Camera Review. Another nice review. I picked up the later cousin of this camera, the Contessa 35, at an estate sale for $50. The Contessa 35 is also a drawbridge folder. The film compartment and bottom are nearly identical to the continuation. But it has an opton coated research lens.

This is what the Contessa 35's viewfinder is SUPPOSED to look like. The viewfinder was bright and easy to use with a crisp and contrasty rangefinder patch, and had the piece needed to make a proper rectangle image. The lens was crystal clear, the shutter worked at all speeds, and all of the camera's various controls, from the film advance.

The Zeiss Ikon's shutter speed dial rotates 360,º just like the Leica M7. The Zeiss Ikon's lens release button is superior to the Leica M7. I can use the Zeiss Ikon's lens release button, while the Leica M7's button is hidden behind a guard. The frame counter is big and easy to read in soft light, but hard to read in hard light.

I photographed this around '74 on my Zeiss Ikon Contessa rangefinder on Kodachrome slide film. It sure looks a lot different down there now. Its starting to look like Blade Runner. The smoking sign in Times Square blew about 1,000 rings a day; a steam-producing box, located behind the head of the man in the sign, created the rings.

In many ways, the Contessa represents the pinnacle of Zeiss Ikon post-war design for folding 35mm cameras. Simply put, these are exquisitely overengineered cameras. From the moment you pick them up, they scream quality from every angle. This 35mm rangefinder is equipped with an excellent 45mm f/2.8 Tessar lens set in a Compur shutter.
