Rare Zeiss Ikon Contax III camera with the sought-after Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 50mm f/1.5 lens. A collectible piece of photographic history. I gave it only a quick look.

It may need work or be best for parts, display, or restoration. Comes with the original Zeiss Ikon case. Please check all the photos carefully to judge ...

Viewfinder: Done some cleaning, the prism has deteriorated a bit on the left edge and middle edge, and tiny portions. When you focus on object you will feel it's presence but able to see through. Good news that you can find a separate viewfinder element on the market. Mirror: looks neat overall, gears work. One tiny screw is missing that wont affect the functionality. Glass/optics: 9.8/10 : Minor dust and tiniest adhesive dots on the frontal element common on vintage lenses which won't affect picture quality a-lot. Blades: clean and neat :9.9/10. Note: the focus ring plastic feels loose when...

   Here are TWO old 35mm SLR Cameras, from the 1950's & 1960's I think --- both made in East Germany (Soviet Germany)--- and Exakta VX and a VX-1000. Both have 50mm Zeiss lenses and both have operational problems. I'm no expert on these cameras but with some rudimentary examining, I can tell you this---- structurally, they are all fairly nice and solid---no major damage except for one thing, but otherwise have some light wear from age & use. The VX is in better condition than the VX1000--- just light age wear & tear--- none too bad at all, but the shutter hangs up/open and ...
