The Zeiss Ikon Contaflex (AV28) paired with the Carl Zeiss Tessar 50mm f/2.8 lens has been inspected, repaired, and tested by CPB Darkroom and is in working condition.

The camera uses a combined split-image rangefinder focusing system, allowing for precise manual focusing. The shutter winding lever is slightly tight in operation but functions correctly and does not affect the camera's usability.
This camera does not have a built-in light meter, and users will need to use an external light meter or estimate exposure manually when shooting.
Cosmetically, the camera remains in good condition, showing normal signs of use consistent with age while remaining structurally sound and well preserved. The attached Carl Zeiss Tessar 50mm f/2.8 lens delivers the sharp rendering, contrast, and distinctive image character for which Zeiss optics are renowned. The images shown depict the exact camera you will receive.

The classic Tessar 50mm f/2.8 lens is celebrated for its sharpness, natural contrast, and pleasing tonal rendition, making this camera particularly well suited for portraits, street photography, travel, documentary work, and everyday shooting.
This camera uses standard 35mm (135) film, producing images in the 24 × 36 mm format.
SLR cameras sold by CPB Darkroom are inspected for shutter accuracy, metering response, film transport reliability, and overall mechanical functionality. Any cosmetic or functional notes are clearly described and reflected in the condition grade.
