Contarex Electronic
I have just joined this august group, although collecting Zeiss-Ikon cameras for more than 25 yrs, as well as many other brands. I believe my first was a very much user Contax IIA soon to be followed by a very much mint Super Ikonta IV. Many more through the years and my very latest is a late Contarex Electronic. I have acquired most of the specialized accessories for this camera; i.e.? Tele-Sensor, motor drive, battery grip, and Intervalometer Timer. I'm wondering if anyone would have a spare manual in English, or a more complete description of the usage of all these accessories. I really don't find I'd ever be using the timer but it would be nice to figure out how the other pieces are designed to work. I have seen a copy on line which describes the accessories in the manual, but without any number diagrams, it's pretty tough to figure out all the buttons and controls on the pieces. Was there a separate publication from Zeiss which describes these pieces in more depth? I know this was getting to the end of the company, so I don't know how much support was ever given to this camera system. It's a fascinating piece which seems to work flawlessly at this point and my only reason for acquiring all the other accessory pieces is like any collector,it's not done until it's done. I assume there are other members interested in the Contarex lineup, and I'm hoping for some answers or a bit of guidance with this past state of the art camera system.
Kindest Regards, Gary Hill |

Would it be an idea to make a subgroup or directory concerning pre-zeiss camera's for instance for ICA and a groep for Ernemann? thanks Ron (Netherlands) Op 13-11-19 om 12:00 schreef Michael Moffatt: Hi ZICG, |

Migration to groups.io completed
Hi ZICG,
Looks the migration has been completed to groups.io. I have set the group to be publicly findable and I will shortly set the Yahoo group to disable messages. People should be able to post here now. But I'll post a test message shortly. I am deeply grateful to those who donated to defray costs. Your generosity made a huge dent in the bill and I will recognize those people later in a digest message somehow. Unsurprisingly, I didn't see 10% of people donate $2, but the people who gave between $5 to $20 (in varying currencies) offset that. The migration itself looks okay, but here is a couple of points that I have noticed: (1) Our membership fell from 1072 members to 850. I expected that because a number of member email addresses were hard bouncing and probably the email accounts don't exist anymore. The migration didn't take them, which I think is a reasonable thing. Additionally, a handful of people immediately unsubscribed after the migration. (2) Some photos didn't appear to make it over, but I will fix that manually later. (3) Some email messages appear to be timestamped incorrectly, so the archives may not show a message on the real date it was sent. For example, the first message in the archives is dated as 1998, but this is not possible because there were no archives before May 2000. This is probably caused by someone posting to ZICG using a computer with the time set incorrectly. I do not believe I can fix that manually. I'm looking forward to smooth sailing for another 20 years! Something tells me that's hopeless optimism. Regards, Michael Moffatt ZICG Admin |

Re: Yahoo Groups service announcement
Hi A lot of the groups are moving to something called groups.io But they have some sort of fee. I think it's for hosting or for maintaining archives. Javier On Monday, October 21, 2019, 2:42:55 AM EDT, michael@... [ZICG] wrote: ? Hi ZICG, |
