The iron curtain which separated Germany after WWII did not only split
the country in two parts but it also kept separated from each other many
sites of large German companies such as Zeiss Ikon. This one became
Zeiss Ikon AG on the west side and VEB Zeiss Ikon Dresden on the
other side. |

Contaflex IV with Tessar 1:2,8 f=50mm
|
The Contaflex IV is the fourth of a
range of Single Lens Reflex (SLR) developped by the Zeiss Ikon AG company,
starting 1953.
It has similar characteristics as the version III but with a built-in
exposure meter. This one is protected by a pivoting door on the left of
the body face.
The mirror is
non-auto-return; when realeasing the shutter, the mirror flips up and
the view screen goes black. This is the similar issue as for the
Savoyflex I.
The shutter is a Synchro-Compur offering
speeds from 1s to 1/500°sec.

removed and replaced by one of the other available focal lengths :
 | 1:3,2 or 1:4 f=35mm Pro-Tessar |
| 1:3,2 or 4 f=85mm Pro-Tessar |
| 1:4 f=115mm Pro-Tessar |
