The Zeiss Ikon Contarex Professional is a 35mm SLR within the Contarex family, produced in West Germany during the 1960s. It was a stripped-down variant aimed at users who did not require the built-in metering of other Contarex models.

Hammer prices at UK auction for the Contarex Professional today span an unusually wide range, from around £210 for a user-grade body up to roughly £6,800 for an exceptional saleroom result, reflecting how scarce clean examples are at wholesale level. With only two recorded results it is difficult to fix a reliable median value, and what a Contarex Professional sells for depends heavily on cosmetic condition, completeness and whether original Zeiss glass is included. Buyers researching what this camera is worth should weigh those individual sales as data points rather than a settled market price.
