Sold


Price: $350.00
Payment method: PayPal
Item condition: 9 Shows signs of use, but very clean
Shipping instructions: USPS Insured


Up for sale today is a Contax IIa kit in great condition. It is the black-dial version and has been film-tested to be in full-working order: all shutter speeds are accurate and rangefinder is properly aligned. The lens needs no introduction - it is the Carl Zeiss Jena 50/1.5 Sonnar lens in great condition with no haze or fungus (just some dust and light micro-scratches that do not impact photos). The previous owner told me that the camera was last CLA'd in 2021 by Campus Camera & Imaging in Kent, OH. Judging by the camera's condition, I have no reason to doubt him.

There are some things to note: There is a crack in some optical component of the viewfinder (please see images). It was like this when I first bought this camera kit, and it does not impact the use of the camera (please see photo of the view through the viewfinder). It is only visible when you are looking at the camera - not when you are using it! Because of this imperfection, I am selling this kit at a lower price than market value.

Comes with a brass lens cap and original case.

Price includes shipping and insurance in the CONUS via non-fee form of payment due to PayPal's new tax rules. I hope that my reputation on this forum (see my previous sales) adds to my credibility.




































Crack in optical element of viewfinder







When using the viewfinder, you can't really even see the crack. Works properly!

Would you consider selling the body on its own?
