For Sale SOLD Zeiss Ikon Contessa SOLD

[Huss]

I haven't sold anything in a while... so here is one really sweet camera - the Zeiss Ikon Contessa 35mm rangefinder.

The expression 'they don't make things like this anymore' really applies to this little sweetheart. It is jewel-like in construction.
No dents, no dings, meter still is responsive! RF patch is easy to use. Comes with the case and correct lens hood.

A very compact camera that can fit in a pocket when folded.

$100 + $15.50 shipping USPS flat rate priority.

Just remembered - I even had my shoe repairman fashion a new strap for the case! That's how much I liked this.

But too many cameras... the ones that aren't used gotta go.

Wow, that's a very nice price.
I already own one, otherwise i'd be tempted to buy...

"It is jewel-like in construction." ---> definitely! It has an impressive build quality, and the smoothness of the focusing ring is also amazing.

Damn. What else do you have hidden away, Huss? Nice gear!

That is/was my problem. I like nice gear! But I had a come to my senses moment (sorta) when I realized I just need to let it go and just keep the stuff I use.

The Contessa is a lovely camera! Note that the tripod socket, which is in the middle of the folding front, still has its little screw-in cover. I have one, while it is not a quick camera to use, it is satisfying in the experience. BTW, this is a bargain price.

Those who like the Contessa might look into the Voigtlander Vitessa, the fabulous folder, not the "denatured" successors. The Vitessa with the f2 Ultron is a wonderous camera....

LOL, I just sold that exact one a few weeks ago. Lovely camera too.
