chuck_foreman1 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I measure 800g with neverready case and no lens With a Jupiter 8 (Sonnar copy) 928g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Thanks, Chuck. How about just the body (no use)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_elwing Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I get 601g for Contax 2 body complete with film take up reel but without film or lens. With f2 Sonnar 50mm, that was 763g. Contax 1 body as above was 566g, but looks heavier 'cos it's black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett_rogers Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I could provide some information pertaining to weights with or without the 50mm collapsible, post war 50mm f/1.5 or 135mm Sonnar. But with a user name of "Troll" do you really expect people to take you serously, or want to help? Perhaps you're really a very nice forum member. But you've chosen your user name. If you want to call yourself that, why on earth would I bother trying to find out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_elwing Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I was surprised it was 20g heavier than a Leica M3. I always thought it was a lot lighter. Peer Gynt casually took the oath of the trolls; something like, "A troll is to himself enough..." You have been around longer than I have, so, cheers.....

darin_cozine Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Note that the contax iia is a bit smaller than the ii. My iia weighs 527 grams without lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_elwing Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 That's a lot lighter. At the same time, Leicas got heavier: 400g+ for the pre war IIIa, 600g- for the 1954 M3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
