1953 Zeiss Ikon Contessa w/Fortepan 400


Recommended Posts

You will find it is a great camera. My cells just died, so, next spring I will have the camera gone through. My dad bought it brand new in Seoul Korea ~1953, so it has been a user, and to date, probably hundreds if not at least a thousand rolls of film through her.

Joe,

 

I really like the fact that you've had the camera for so long. I have an M3 that my father in law

bought new in 1956. As he was a geography professor, the camera has travelled all round the

world.

 

I like the Contessa. The fact that it's a folder means that I can carry it around with me more

than the Leica. Sadly, the meter has gone on mine but that's not such a great hardship.
