Replica of my camera

10.6k Winstonlharambe  5.8 years ago

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

    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.

    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
