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. Mechanically, the camera functions correctly, with all buttons, dials, and controls operating as intended. The shutter performs properly, and the camera is ready for practical use.

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 Zeiss Ikon Contaflex represents the precision engineering and craftsmanship of post-war German camera manufacturing. Compact, robust, and highly refined, it offers a deliberate and rewarding photographic experience. 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.

The sample images shown were made on film using this exact camera and lens, offering a true representation of its rendering, lens performance, and overall image quality.

Looks amazing when on the wrist.
Color: Silver White
Pretty impressive for the price. Wears much smaller than I expected and super light on the wrist. I was going to change the bracelet but it completes the esthetic of the watch and has gotten compliments.

Watch is nice but band is tricky to close properly
Color: Gold Black
I just received the watch and could not figure out how to lock the band correctly. I was at the watch repair store today and the lady there showed me how to close it properly so the band doesn’t come unhooked.

It's hand wind watch
Color: Silver Black, Color: Silver Black
Last time I had hand wound watch was thirty years ago, so I was very happy to find this watch. Very stylish, has scratch resistant glass and is stainless steel. Completely not waterproof. Got rained on one day for the very short distance and the watch got fog into in. It took whole day and desiccate packages to get the steam out of the dial. Thirty clockwise winds keep the watch ticking for about seventeen hours. It is also somewhat hard to wind. The quality inspection on the band is pretty low. When arrived, clasp was loose in closing. I needed to take pliers and move the closing latch hook more up to securely close clasp. Now its perfect. Video shows how to adjust length of the clasp. Very easy with provided screwdriver. Just stick screwdriver into the hole and move back to open clasp and forward to close. Don't try to close it with the fingers. It is really hard to do it that way. If I wind it before bed and in the morning, it never stops and keeps time good. The size of the dial is perfect; but the height is very thick. Takes some time to get used to. Over all it is a very pretty watch and decent for the price tag.
