The Contessa Recto is a vintage camera from the German maker Contessa, a marque associated with early 20th-century folding and plate cameras before the brand was absorbed into Zeiss Ikon in 1926.

Sales data for the Contessa Recto is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 2002 at £100 is the only reference point available, so a meaningful price range or median cannot be established at saleroom level today. Buyers asking what a Contessa Recto is worth or how much it sells for should treat that figure as indicative only, since condition, completeness and any original accessories will materially shift value.
