This is more of a personal thing.
I received this (early '37) Zeiss Ikon Contax III from my grandfather years ago and since then fixed it up to a working state. Unfortunately 2 months ago the shutter gave up. Been saving for a complete restoration since.
Sending it to resto in a week. I'm thinking bout creating a working replica of it here in SP.
I'm Looking for some help tbh (Perhaps a Collab?).
More info:
The original sales brochure is in the photos. The Everyready case is not in the pictures. And The camera behind the Contax is Contaflex

Nice camera
I’ve got a (not as old) Minolta X-700 with a less than brilliant shutter
Yup haha it’s a rangefinder btw also among the first @DeezDucks
And here I thought it was going to be a Rebel T6 or something, but no you've suprised me. That's a rather lovely little Film SLR you have there.
Ya sure I'll let you know when I'm done with current project @CRJ900Pilot
This indeed would be an interesting project
Those are prob Japanese Contax. Zeiss Ikon Contax fetch much more. But the Contaflex in the back I got it for $35! Simply because the shop owner thought it was broken and almost damaged it trying to convince me. Sad story but still the Best deal ever @T8flightcrafts
Sure tag me @StallFlight
Sweet! Need any help? @Winstonlharambe
that's awesome!. a few months ago I was riding my bike and I found a contax camera at a yardsale for 10 buck! yardsale find of lifetime! it doesnt work tho :(
I’m meant the warbirds lol @StallFlight
@Winstonlharambe Not for the camera, I'm sorry.
I gotta finish the warbird and then start building for the general aviation challenge.
Wanna do collab? @StallFlight
I’m currently building a Reggiane Re2005 @CRJ900Pilot
@CRJ900Pilot I'm working on a warbird, if you're interested, feel free to join me.
I could possibly help if you need. I’d also love to do a colab on a WWII bird
