Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super B (10.1272)

The Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super B is a 35mm leaf-shutter SLR from the Contaflex family, introduced by Zeiss Ikon in the early 1960s. It was positioned as a higher-specification model in the range, adding built-in coupled selenium metering to the Contaflex line.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Contaflex Super B have sat in a narrow £25–£60 band, with a median around £50 across the four sales on file. Today in 2026 the camera sells for modest sums at saleroom level, and condition of the selenium meter and leaf shutter has a clear effect on what a given example is worth.
