What it is
{"overview":"The Zeiss Ikon Contaflex III 863\/24 is a 35mm leaf-shutter SLR from the German Contaflex line, sitting within the family of fixed-lens reflex cameras Zeiss Ikon produced during the 1950s. With no recent comparable sales, today's value is difficult to pin down from auction evidence alone, and the price a clean working example fetches at auction will hinge heavily on cosmetic condition and shutter function.","buying_guide":"As with other leaf-shutter Contaflex bodies, the priorities on inspection are shutter operation across all speeds, smooth aperture blades free of oil, a clear viewfinder and a clean reflex mirror.

Questions
What affects the price of a Contaflex III?
Condition is the dominant factor: a working shutter, clean optics and tidy cosmetics will lift the value, while haze, sticky blades or a non-functioning shutter will pull it down sharply.
