Zeiss Ikon Contessamatic E.

Let me just open with the fact that I got this camera for 20 euros. People don't seem to want these cameras much but come on, look what it does in all this free-Wordpress-low-res glory. The original scans are so much joy to look at. I never thought I would like the results this much but there is a buttery smoothness about them, which is weird I know because they are actually tack-sharp.

It's not the most comfortable camera to use due in part to the squarish form. I find that my right hand is not provided with enough grip space while my left tries to maneuver the long focus throw and both hands tend to get into each other's way sometimes. It's a lot less portable than the Revue 400 SE and I am not fond of the design of the original case. That said, I actually can't wait to make more photographs with this camera because, well, the lens.
