Hello all.
Anyone use a Zeiss Ikon Contessa 35 camera? The light meter moves, but may not work. I have seen cameras same as mine, go for $295 on e-bay so they are either poor cameras, or the Company made a lot of them.
Not looking to sell, my Father bought it new & gave it to me. The manual says it takes film, ISO 5 up to 320. I have never seen film with these ISO#s
I can get 100 or 200 B&W or Color, the only filters that came with it, a dark Green & dark Red + a Kodak adaptor with a +1 lens. The green & red filters look new, but the +1 lens has Fungi spots.
When I asked the Repair shop in Alanta Ga, USA. Should I send it in? They said to shoot some color & B&W film & see if it was already restored. My Father sent it to Germany in 1972 & he is old, so does not remember why or what was done. He never used it again after it came back.
Taking B&W with this Camera would be fun & I have my new Nikon N65 QD, to take color pictures with. Any suggestions or advice is welcome
