Zeiss Ikon Contessa 533/24 with Camera Tripod Mount Plug | Parts, Repair, or Display

Condition Assessment.

·         Not the best cosmetics; missing the leatherette on the film door opening cover and on the front of the camera/bottom of the lens bed; leatherette is lifting at the corners on either side of the lens bed

·         Leatherette on the film compartment door looks good

·         Minor Zeiss bumps on the front, under the leatherette

·         Light meter non-functional

·         Viewfinder is dark of course, but not terribly dirty

·         Rangefinder focusing spot is visible as designed; focus accuracy is unknown, but the minimum focus distance looks roughly correct

·         Moderate fogging of the Zeiss0-Opton T 45mm f/2.8 lens

·         Focus action is well damped with a hint of grit

·         Pressure plate shows some light wear

·         Shutter clockwork is functional, even at slow speeds; accuracy unknown, but the speeds qualitatively track the shutter speed settings

·         The aperture control is functional

·         Light wear on the bottom and top plates

·         The hard to find tripod mount insert is present (located on the lens bed and faces forward when closed

·         Film transport works correctly

·         Frame counter works properly

·         Lens has some minor fungus, and haze, not terrible, visible primarily when back lit

·         The timer was not tested to avoid potential jamming of the shutter clockwork
