tony_lockerbie Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Lovely old camera the Contessa, when Zeiss used to build them really well. Number one puts a new slant on clean green car propulsion! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewlamb Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Great shots, Joe. I've just bought a Contessa. no idea of the year. This was my first shot. The film is XP2 Super.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_nash1 Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 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.

andrewlamb Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
