Sun shade for Contaflex II

W Maes All Messages By This Member #15199 I own a nice Contaflex II with fixed Tessar 45/2.8 lens. I tried to find a sun shade for this camera, but I got a S27 shade which does not fit. It seems the Contaflex I and II have a reversed filter thread. Can anyone indicate me the right filter/sunshade specifications? Thanks Willy MAES
Hans de Groot All Messages By This Member #15204 Hi Willy, Early Contaflex I and II did have female threads, somewhere Zeiss Ikon changed to the more normal variety. When it happened you should ask Marc James Small, as he made a research when and where it changed. And sorry, I haven't a fitting sunshde for you... (not spare in any case:-) ciao, Hans de Groot On Saturday, September 10, 2016 9:21 AM, "roxybiscuits@... [ZICG]" wrote: ? I own a nice Contaflex II with fixed Tessar 45/2.8 lens.

W Maes All Messages By This Member #15207 Dag Hans, In the meantime I found a solution for my Contaflex II lens shade. I bought a 28,5mm push-on shade, which was marked Zeiss-Ikon Stuttgart and it fits ok. I saw the same shade on several illustrations of the Contaflex I and II. So I guess this was the standard sun shade for that lens. Thanks anyway for your comment. Willy Maes
