I have an Exacta SLR, a Contaflex SLR, a Ricoh Rangefinder, and a Yashica T4 Point & Shoot, all 35mm. The first 2 were gifts from my FIL (who bought them in NYC in the 50s), the Ricoh from my father (apparently purchased in Seoul post-war), and the Yashica was purchased by my wife and I in the 90s.

The incredible Contaflex Super, 45mm
tessar f2.8 and Teleskop
1.7 x extender - camera no. 28 in my 2025 SLR film project. The camera was lent to me by a friend in Brighton - it has a very nice standard 45mm lens but then you can put on this Sonnar telephoto extender which is gorgeous.

Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super B Film Camera Review
Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super B is an unusual but well-built camera that features a sharp, expressive lens. It uses relic technology, like a non-returning mirror box, but also features interchangeable film backs, a leaf shutter mount, and a 100% DOF viewfinder. It’s also very affordable.

Als die Japaner die Zeiss Contaflex Kamera nachbauten, hat man bei der Werner Zeiss AG gelacht.
