What it is
{"overview":"The Zeiss Ikon Contarex Super is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced in West Germany during the 1960s as part of the Contarex series. Values are highly condition-sensitive: the price a Contarex Super is worth at auction depends heavily on cosmetic state, meter function, and whether original lenses are included.","buying_guide":"Inspect the selenium meter, shutter speeds across the full range, and the focusing screen, as servicing a Contarex is specialist work and parts are scarce. Check the body for smooth film transport, a clean prism with no desilvering, and that the bayonet mount engages lenses positively.

Questions
Does the black Contarex Super command a higher price?
Black-finish Contarex Super bodies are scarcer than chrome and can carry a premium when the finish is original, though the final value still depends on mechanical condition and meter function.
