What it is
{"overview":"The Zeiss Ikon Contina I (524\/24) is a 35mm viewfinder camera produced by Zeiss Ikon in the 1950s. At that level the camera sells for entry-collector money, and condition — clean glass, working shutter speeds, intact leatherette — will swing the price more than anything else.","buying_guide":"Inspect the leaf shutter at all speeds, as old grease commonly causes slow or sticking blades on cameras of this era. Check the lens for haze, separation and fungus, and confirm the film advance and frame counter operate cleanly.
