Troll Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 It's been nearly 60 years, and I'm still kicking myself for trading mine for a Leica mirror reflex housing. Dumb, dumb, dumb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_thistle Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I love mine, it's a very "capable" compact folding camera. http://static.flickr.com/103/250882807_a97d9f48ae_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicaglow Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Lauren, I was thinking you were buying the folder (which explains why you've got a 50mm vs. a 45mm lens). I've always wondered how the newer camera compared. Post some pics when you get them... if you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTC Photography Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I have this verion of Pronto SLS spezial Contessa, it has a front elemnt focusing Tessar 50/2.8 lens, with a match needle selenium exposure meter. However, its Tessar lens is not as sharp as the recomputed unit focusing Tessar lens on Contaflex Super B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
