Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:31153662 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Germany |
| Color: Chrome | Type: Contax II with Sonnar 5cm/2 |
| Brand: Zeiss Ikon |
Here's a Contax II with Sonnar 5cm/2. Serial number: Z.50206, made in the mid 30's.
This is the rare "Z"-version, which was the first batch of Contax II-cameras (production started at Z.50001) with a different sequence of shutter speeds and a different pattern (straight lines) to the side of the wind-on knob.
Good condition, with signs of normal use, some marks, mainly on back edge of base plate. Rangefinder is working well (some edge separation to finder), but shutter is irreg...ular, slow and needs service.
The Sonnar-lens (serial number: 1630255) is the correct vintage, and has cleaning marks on front element and haze inside optics.
Please have a look at my other auctions for more items, - I’d happilycombine shipping costs. Good luck!
