New Life for a Contarex..

Deceased, but remembered fondly here...
It seems like I'm getting old cameras restored more than buying new ones.

I have a very complete Zeiss Contarex (Bullseye) system but Zeiss stopped repairing them years ago and I hadn't until today found anyone working on them.

Well now I have. Contarex repair

Here is why I want to get it back up and running.

"The Zeiss Contarex lenses, manufactured for the redoubtable Contarex line of cameras from 1958 to 1973, have attained superstar status. According to most camera historians these lenses were the best ever, optically and mechanically. "

Oh, it also has interchangeable backs of which I have 2. Shoot both color and B&W on the same body by just swapping backs.

Whether that's true or not, in either a general or a specific sense, is probably debatable -- but there's no denying that the belief itself gives a certain sense of occasion to photographing with them!
