CONTAXContax began as a camera model in the Zeiss Ikon line in 1. The early cameras among the finest in the world typically featuring high quality Zeiss interchangeable lenses. The final products under the Contax name were a line of 3. Kyocera, and featuring modern Zeiss optics. In 2. 00. 5, Kyocera announced that it would no longer produce Contax cameras. Historical overvieweditWhile the firm of Ernst Leitz of Wetzlar established the 2. Zeiss Ikon of Dresden decided to produce a competitor designed to be superior in every way. The name Contax was chosen after a poll among Zeiss employees. Dr. Ing. Heinz Kppenbender was its chief designer. Made between 1. 93. Contax, known as Contax I after later models were introduced, was markedly different from the corresponding Leica. Using a die cast alloy body it housed a vertically travelling metal focal plane shutter reminiscent of the one used in Contessa Nettel cameras, made out of interlocking blackened brass slats somewhat like a roll up garage door. This complex shutter became the characteristic of the Contax camera and its Super Nettel derivative. By contrast, the competitive Leica followed the established design of using rubberized fabric shutter curtains wound around rollers, moving horizontally. The Contax design allowed a higher maximum shutter speed the top speed was 11. Contax II. The fact the shutter ran across the shorter dimension of the format area was a significant factor for achieving this technical feat. The interlocking slats were aligned by specially woven silk ribbons, which were very strong but subject to wear. Replacing these ribbons was difficult but, contrary to modern cameras, made for a 4. Zeiss also invented the System Camera, with all sorts of near photo, wide angle, mirror house, long focal length lenses for specific situations. However Zeiss called it Universalkamera. One of the key design features was a coupled rangefinder with a very long baseline, with its own eyepiece next to that of the viewfinder. To enhance accuracy, a novel rotating wedge system was employed in lieu of the common swinging mirror mechanism. Other main features included focusing drive built into the camera body for use with standard lens, removable back, shutter speed knob integral with film wind knob placed at the front of the camera body, and black enamelled finish. The young lens designer Ludwig Bertele, formerly of Ernemann, was charged with the responsibility of designing the lenses. The greatest advantage of the Zeiss lenses was the reduced number of air to glass surfaces in Berteles designs. In the years before lens coating was generally practiced, this had advantages for contrast and resistance to lens flare. Zeiss also pioneered glass coating, and before the war coated lenses were offered. Sap Sizing Tool For Hardware Sizing Tools. After lens coating became universal post WW2, designers were given more freedom in using extra air to glass surfaces in correcting lens aberrations, without fear of the ill effects of surface reflections. In 1. 93. 6 the Contax II and III models were introduced the only difference between them was the integral exposure meter on the latter model. They introduced the combined eyepiece for both viewfinder and rangefinder, the shutter speed and film wind knob placed on the top plate, fastest shutter speed at 11. They became very popular among professional photographers, especially photojournalists who demanded high performance, large aperture lenses for available light work and a workhorse. The vertical shutter had both variations in speed, slit and a break that was again a Zeiss first. After the Second World War, a few Contax cameras were produced at the original Dresden factory, and some were assembled at the Carl Zeiss optical works at Jena, before production was transferred to Kiev in Ukraine. During the war years, the chief designer, Hubert Nerwin, tried to convert the Contax into a single lens reflex camera but was hindered by the presence of the upper roller of the vertical focal plane shutter. The postwar design chief Wilhelm Winzenberg started with a clean slate, which became the Contax S Spiegelreflex, even though the S was not marked on the camera. The Contax S can be said to be the camera that defined the configuration of the modern 3. SLR camera. Not only did it introduce the M4. Introduced in 1. 94. S was followed by numerous models including D, E, F, FB, FM and FBM. During that period, VEB Zeiss Ikon, as the firm became known, was gradually under pressure from the new Zeiss Ikon AG in the US zone, so the original Zeiss Ikon and Contax names and trademarks gradually disappeared and were replaced by the new name of Pentacon, which never really caught on. Finally, this camera line was abandoned. Meanwhile, in the US zone, the three main Zeiss concerns Carl Zeiss Stiftung Carl Zeiss Foundation, Carl Zeiss optical, and Zeiss Ikon were reestablished. With Hubert Nerwin in charge as design chief, Zeiss Ikon produced heavily revised Contax models, the IIa and IIIa, at a new plant at Stuttgart, and they were made until 1. With the emergence of the Japanese camera industry, mainly a consequence of the US pressure on West Germanys Zeiss to cease collaboration with the East German Zeiss, and also the lack of raw materials the former was enduring, it was in a way forced to form an alliance with a Japanese maker. Asahi, maker of the Pentax, was engaged first and it went as far as Zeiss designing a common lens mount, which constituted a detour from Pentaxs adoption of the Easter German M4. Pentax Mount to avoid any accreditation to the Eastern Block, and which became the Pentax K mount after the two firms parted company. An alliance was then formed with Yashica, and a new line of Contax single lens reflex cameras was born, starting from the RTS of 1. Numerous models followed, which also included compacts, medium format reflex cameras, and digital cameras. Interestingly, rival Leica in the 1. West German Zeiss designed wide angle lenses for their own cameras. The 1. 5 mm Hologon was the first super wide lens on a Leica, and the Leica reflex had access to the 1. Distagon lens as part of the Leitz supplied range. Kyocera took over Yashica in 1. Yashica and Contax brands. In the mid 9. 0s came their Contax G1 with outstanding lenses and a little later the G2, both fully manual or automatic, The first zoom lens to a RF camera, lenses from 1. However, by 2. 00. In 2. 00. 5, Kyocera discontinued all photographic equipment manufacture, including the Contax brand in 2. Contax story to a close. Original Contax rangefinder modelseditIn contrast to the contemporary Leica which was evolved from its original concept into a photographic system, the Contax was designed as the heart of a photographic system from the start. A heavily engineered machine of tremendous complexity, it was Zeiss Ikons showcase of the technology it possessed. The Contax I had six identifiable variants, but fundamentally identical every aspect was designed to be better than the Leica. For instance, the removable back was for faster loading and reloading, the bayonet lens mount was designed for rapid lens interchangeability, the long base rangefinder was for more accurate focusing with large aperture lenses, and the vertical metal shutter not only gave a faster maximum speed but also banished the problem of shutter blinds burning.
