这几天很HAPPY，刚认识一个朋友有一堆老相机，其中有Minelta CLE,Leica CL,Nikon F2, Minelta X-700, 和CONTAX。把玩了两天，死缠着要了两台CONTAX。很老的相机，但很精致，对照XITEK的CONTAX简史，大概是50年代的产品。似乎工作正常。无论如何，至少可作镇纸。
一台是CONTAX Rangefinder,可能是CONTAX II，不知谁有，能否告之详情，因我没有说明书。我的体会是装卷太难，对焦困难，但头很特别，是Sonnar 50/1.5.
另一台是CONTAX Contaflex，由西德Carl Zeiss生产的第一台单反机。奇怪的是不能换镜头，哪位大侠能说说。谢了。

Thank dkdk and Yuan very much. I just want to know what on earth my cameras are and their value. But it does not matter whether they are cheap or expensive. I will not use them very often.(My main tool is N90s(F90X).) I just think they are very cute and elegent. Actually, I paid $100 for them, (just the price for Olympus U2, in addition, he gave me a vivitar 75-205/3.8 as a gift), but they are made of pure metal and have Carl Zeiss lens. At least I can display them in my living room. They are beautiful. Thanks again for your information.

To: Berkeley
I played those two in Victoria Antique Row, The price of Contaflex(SLR) was $95(EX)and Contax III(RF) was $500(EX+).

contax的老单反机(真正德国机)分Contarex和contaflex，前者是可换镜头的焦平面
快门机，是收藏珍品；后者是不可换镜头的叶片快门机，属大众型低档机。这类叶片
快门单反机在5，60年代流行过一阵，多家厂商都有类似机型生产，可靠性都不太高，
很快都消失了。

Berkeley ，你那CONTAX和现在的CONTAX可没有关系，你那菜丝头跟现在的也大不相
同。Contaflex I, II,和 III都不能换镜头， 只有IV及其后的可换，但也只是前镜
头组。
你那两个相机都不是很可靠，最好只当镇纸用。用坏了修起来比相机本身价值还贵。

Thank you everybody.

To Yuan: Unfortunately, one is SLR, another is RF. :-(

To sztiger: Please do not tell other friends. But do not be afraid unless you have a Leica because my next goal is Leica.

To viewfinder: Mine is exactly same as the picture, but seams a little old.

By the way, can you tell me the value of these cameras if you know? I have no idea at all.

Contax II with anti-reflection treated Sonnar 1.5/50 from the 1930's - the startingpoint for modern optical performance.

我相信玩机的朋友见到你后，肯定都躲着你。这么好的东东，都能被你个搞走两个。

CONTAX 上有测光的是3，没测光的是2，取景器老机都那个样，不管怎么样，都值得当镇纸。
另一个CF是不是45/2，如果是，笑吧，那就是“鹰眼”，好好拍几张过过瘾。
