Contax Contax I (B) - Camera

35mm manual focus rangefinder camera using the Contax/Kiev mount introduced in 1932 by Contax. Contax's first attempt at making a 35mm camera after Leica's success with their A model.

Especially known to have an unreliable shutter. Finder mask for 13.5cm lens. Brass body in black enamel finish.
