Zeiss Ikon Contax I(c) Camera, Germany, ca 1933. This is a rare early "c" version without slow speeds. The camera comes with the rigid uncoated 2/50 Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar lens. Cosmetically, camera is EX+ with only minor wear. Black enamel has some very minor wear. The bakelite knurled winding knob ring is gone after all these years, but the winding works fine. Other than that, there are no missing or modified parts. The camera was recently CLA'd, and is in the full working order. The... shutter at all speeds (1/25-1/1000, B). The rangefinder is bright and accurate. The lens has some very faint cleaning marks, which is usual for this design. It is still usable. The original leather case in a poor shape and a Contax metal take up spool are included. There is NO RESERVE! Good Luck!
