Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super

The Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super is a 35mm leaf-shutter SLR produced in West Germany, part of the Contaflex series that positioned Zeiss Ikon in the fixed-lens and interchangeable-front SLR market of the late 1950s and early 1960s. It was sold as an upmarket amateur camera with a coupled selenium meter.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Contaflex Super have sat in a narrow £31–£70 band, with a median around £50 in today's market. These are saleroom results rather than dealer retail, and working examples with a responsive meter and clean shutter tend to sell for the upper end of that range, while cosmetically tired bodies are what a Contaflex Super is worth at the lower end.
