The postage rates I have quoted are chosen to include tracking and adequate insurance. The overseas rate is to cover Europe. I do not aim to make a profit on postage so if actual costs are significantly less than the amount paid I will make a refund. Alternatively overseas buyers can request an invoice or wait for me to issue one (which I will do for unpaid items when the batch of auctions has finished), I will adjust the postage appropriately on the invoice. I will combine multiple purchases to minimise the postage costs, again best to request or wait for an invoice. I will accept bids from non-European buyers provided they have contacted me first for a postage quote and that they have a good feedback history.
I am selling a Zeiss Contax S type D2 camera, it is serial number 33212. It is fitted with a f2.8 50mm Zeiss Tessar lens, serial number 3377434. The lens is in an aluminium preset mount.
The camera winds and fires, but it has not been tested with film. The shutter curtains are a little wrinkled but I cannot see any pinholes. The shutter speeds sound OK, the slow speeds work. The first curtain did not completely clear the frame on the slow speeds when I first tried it, but a bit of exercise seems to have cured the problem. The delayed action works. The camera is cosmetically very good with few signs of wear. There is a slight loss of chrome on one edge of the pentaprism housing and on the top plate by the rewind knob
Cosmetically the lens is very smart. Mechanically the focusing is good and the iris works well. Optically it looks quite clean with just a little internal dust.
This camera and lens is 60 years old and is sold as seen. A service will undoubtedly be necessary if it is to be used for taking pictures. I am slimming down a collection of around 300 35mm SLRs of most makes and vintages, so please keep watching for my sales. If anyone has a particular requirement please let me know, if I have an example I can prioritise its listing.
