Zeiss Ikon Stuttgart CONTESSA 35mm Rangefinder Camera w/Case & Strap in excellent condition. This one has the Zeiss Tessar 45mm f2.8 lens. The lens is clean with no visible haze or scratches, although you can probably find some tiny scratches under bright lighting. I do not think it would affect contrast in a noticeable way and I have not seen any effect. The mechanics are all fine. Focusing is smooth, all controls move smoothly, and the folding mechanism is in great shape. The rangefi...nder is a little cloudy, which is probably not unusual for a camera of this age, but the rangefinder patch is still contrasty and it's totally functional. There is some very minor body wear, but really minimal for its age. The case shows some wear, but nothing major.
I have shot film through this and it's a great camera.
Feel free to message me with any questions.
Update: light meter responds to light, but it’s about a stop or two off in low light. But it’s closer to accurate in normal lighting.
