Zeiss Ikon Contaflex IV 35mm SLR + Lens

Probably a collectible serial: L 60002. Snappy and sharp. Speeds seem accurate except perhaps at very slow speeds it seems slower than it ought to be. The exposure meter still appears to work – amazing.

Whatever the particular item being sold, it is expected that the buyer will have their own camera maintenance kit e.g. dust blower, microfibre cloth. Please check the pictures below to see if any included accessories are original, generic or with a different brand name (used for convenience).



Included:

* All that is pictured, except any batteries / power cells (unless otherwise stated; in any case it’s best to wait until you receive the item before buying any batteries / power cells, just in case l included them unannounced!) & anything used to measure the sale item (e.g. rulers & scales)



General Information:

* Defects found: Possibly a little slow at slower speeds. A few small patches of rust. Two areas of skin peel (easily fixed by l lack superglue at present, and besides, it’s not even important). The detachable lens has moderate dust and some coataing loss. The fixed internal lens has some spidery fungus, but still gives very sharp images.

Please note: Only basic functionality has been tested, to wit: shutter release / mirror action, shutter speed & ISO dials (turning, not accuracy), film winder, opening film compartment, opening any battery compartment. The light meter is not usually tested because there are not usually any working batteries in the camera (for technical reasons batteries cannot be included in the package anyway).

Please note: If the camera is a vintage item, assume that the self timer is broken, unless otherwise stated. I no longer test the self timer myself. Self timers on vintage cameras are fragile & best left alone.

[If there happens to be a functional defect not listed (the photos should cover everything else), then the buyer may return the item for a full refund, to include the cost of signed return delivery - please retain the original packaging in case this is necessitated.]

* Weight of entire sale item before mail order packaging: 800g

Important Announcement:

It is imperative that in their registered address on PayPal & eBay, the customer clearly gives the following in Latin script:

* How it was stored: Warehoused

* How it will be packaged: The item will be packaged in bubble wrap and / or cardboard, possibly couched within EPS (styrofoam) peanuts.

If the entire lot is to be collected in person, then minimal / zero packaging will be used

All items in this listing are wiped down only if necessary and safe to do so (sometimes with antistatic wipes) immediately prior to despatch - this excludes the glass on lenses, which is left to the customer to safely clean if required

Recycling / re-use of packaging: Cardboard is recyclable. Polythene bags, bubble wrap and EPS peanuts are not usually accepted for recycling except at designated drop off points. You may be able to re-use some of the packaging if you open it carefully.

* Note about payment options: PayPal or cash on collection (if collection from the Seller is offered in this instance) are the preferred payment routes. You can actually use credit cards via PayPal without even having a PayPal account.





Please Note: Combined postage discounts may be possible for multiple purchases depending on the payment policy for this item - please request total cost after making multiple purchases within a 3-day time period. The discount will be calculated ad hoc - depending on the actual postage cost to the Seller.

Please Note: Sometimes the P&P cost can be negotiable because it is problematic creating a multitude of weight categories before the final packaged weight is known, & also the calculations must be extended to many different nations & continents - plus they fluctuate with time. Because eBay charge the same fee rate on any P&P levied as on the item cost, & the P&P cost includes packaging plus any attendant costs, the Buyer should consider the total price inc. P&P - that is the actual deal being offered.

If you wish to negotiate the P&P, feel free to discuss via eBay eMail (note: l will not deal outside of eBay). I will likely stick to my given price yet it may be worth enquiring.

* 30 day Return To Base warranty for whatever reason - as long as all goods are in the same condition as sold / delivered
