Ikoflex Twin Lens Reflex Cameras
* Filters and Lens Shades: The Ikoflex Cameras, with the
exception of the "coffee can" use 35.5mm screw in or 37mm push on
filters and/or adapter rings over the taking lens. The viewing lens takes either
a Zeiss S27 (27mm screw in) or 28.5mm push on filter. Original Zeiss Filters and
shades are extremely hard to find these days.

Mr. Zeiss told his engineers that he wanted the
finest 35mm ever built. The result was the Bullseye which was the finest
35mm of its time. There was nothing cheap about the Contarex and there is
nothing cheap about them today. Be prepared to nuke your
pocketbook if you're lucky enough to get one.

* Filters and Lens
Shades: The Contaflex Cameras generally will use either 27mm screw
in or 28.5mm push on filters and/or adapter rings over the 50mm Tessar
& 45mm Pantar lenses. Pro Tessar 35mm & 85mm lenses use the Zeiss
S-60 filter. Pro Tessar 115mm Telephoto Lens uses Zeiss S67 filters or standard
67mm filters. There is a second Pro Tessar 35mm lens that takes standard 49mm
filters.

Historical Information
Zeiss-Ikon
ceased productions in the early 1970's. The company as it was no longer
exists. The following is addresses of workshops formerly under contract to Zeiss
which may be able to assist you . I tried in the past to contact them about
resetting, etc. my Ikoflex, Contaflex, and Contarex cameras by sending a
facsimile. I never received any response. I'm providing the information
anyway because you may have better luck than I did.
