Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super BC
The Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super BC is a 35mm leaf-shutter SLR from the German Contaflex line, fitted with through-the-lens metering. It sat in the upper tier of Zeiss Ikon's fixed-prism SLR range when introduced.
UK auction hammer results for the Contaflex Super BC are sparse, with recorded sales falling between £100 and £180 — wholesale saleroom prices that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. On that thin sample the median sits around £140, and as of today values remain heavily condition-led, with working meters and clean shutters making the difference between what a body is worth and what it actually sells for.
