I have a Contica Camera I think that is made by KW Kamera werks. Am I correct. As of today its listed on EBAY as Contax Contica. I think Contax had something to do with this camera by its looks

"I think Contax had something to do with this camera by its looks"

Contax was a camera model not a manufacturer. And is this a large format camera? Contax was a 35mm system.

No I'm pretty certain this is a 35mm camera from the 50's. Not a common one for sure, and certainly not a Zeiss Ikon which is the company that made Contax. (of which I have a few)

Are you sure it isn't a Practax? More seriously, I doubt that any branch of Zeiss, east zone or west zone, had anything to do with it.

Given that Frank has no other posts, is unaware this is a LF forum and has "ebay" in his e-mail address, I am going to go out on a limb and say this post is really just an ad.
