I have quite a few books already on the history of Zeiss and Contax, about different cameras/camera systems. Most of the very obvious things you see on Amazon I have.

There are two (or three or four technically) that I'm looking for. They are hard to find, but they are a couple on eBay. But I wanted to see if anyone here might have some they'd like to sell.

Hardest to find that I'm looking for:

1) "Only Zeiss" (author seems to be Contax)
2) "Only Zeiss II"

3) "On the Trail of Contax: Volume I" (Hans-Jurgen Kuc)
4) "On the Trail of Contax: Volume 1I" (Hans-Jurgen Kuc)

I can find all of them, technically, on eBay, but #3 is $300.

If there are any other books (again, ones aside from the obvious), or resources of any kind (internal papers, memos, diagrams, whatever), I would greatly appreciate if you'd contact me. The books I would like to buy, but if there are other things you could send scans of, that works, of course.

(I did acquire "Zeiss and Photography" by Gubas, which is quite rare, in case you were going to suggest that)

Next, I am looking for the same thing for Leica. I already have things like Erwin Puts' newest edition of the Leica Lens Compendium and the Leica Collector's Guide.

A few rare books about Leica, all of them Erwin Puts, that I don't have:

1) "Leica Compendium: Company, Camera, Lenses"
2) "Leica Lenses Saga"
3) "Leica Chronicle"

Thank you! You can reach me at [email protected] if you have anything you want to share via attachments or whatever else.
