A high-quality German leaf-shutter SLR with a sharp Tessar lens.

The Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Matic P is a compact 35mm leaf-shutter SLR made in West Germany in the early 1960s. It combines the solid craftsmanship of Zeiss Ikon with the optical precision of the Tessar lens design. The camera features fully manual controls and a built-in selenium light meter that operates without batteries.

This version includes the fixed Carl Zeiss Tessar 50mm f/2.8 lens (SN: 4713140), well known for its crisp rendering and excellent contrast. With its bright viewfinder and quiet shutter, the Matic P is an excellent choice for collectors or photographers who appreciate all-mechanical, precision-built German cameras.
