The Contax F is a 35mm SLR film camera from the post-war Pentacon lineage of East German Contax-branded SLRs. It used the M42 screw lens mount and was aimed at advanced amateur photographers when introduced in the 1950s.

Auction data for the Contax F is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result of around £140 has been recorded, so any current value or price guidance should be treated as indicative rather than a settled market. As of 2026, what a Contax F is worth at auction today depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter accuracy and whether the original waist-level or pentaprism finder is fitted, and clean working examples tend to sell for more than rough bodies.
