Here we have a beautiful and fully functional Zeiss Ikon Contessa 35mm film rangefinder folding camera with Zeiss Opton Tessar 45mm F/2.8 lens.

This camera is in stunning condition and works as it should. It takes beautiful photos.

The lens, film compartment, viewfinder, aperture blades, shutter blades, and general surfaces are clean and pristine. The focusing mechanism works perfectly, as does the rangefinder within the viewfinder. The light meter (a Selenium meter) is not reactive to light, a common problem since Selenium wears out over time. However, the camera is fully functional and operation is unhampered.

The Zeiss Ikon Contessa was a high end rangefinder camera made in Stuttgart, Germany throughout the 1950s. It's a compact, capable film camera that uses common 35mm film. The lens is a super-capable Zeiss Tessar 45mm F/2.8. The camera uses a very quiet leaf shutter.

This is just a truly gorgeous camera, and one any Zeiss fan (or any camera fan, really) should have in their collection.

It will be carefully packaged and shipped immediately.
