By Howard Somerville The first Contarex, also known as the Contarex Bullseye and the Cyclops, is a 35mm camera first shown in 1958. It was 's contribution to the professional photographer, meant to cater for any photographic task whatsoever. It is extremely heavy and beautifully made. It weighs almost net 1.2kg, and is so complicated that it requires a skilled person even for the simplest repair. Even the removal of the top cover is a major task involving removal of several complex assemblies. The mechanism involved winding the film back into its cassette has two gear trains and three axels in order to avoid the internal meter movement.

Still, gear damage is likely due to insufficient axle support. By Patrick Stacey The, closely associated with the renowned lenses, was once the world's largest camera maker. ZI, always aiming at making cameras for every kind of customer, had little concern whether each investment actually made any net returns, and the Contarex is no exception. Despite the fact that the Contarex cameras never sold in any appreciable quantity, a huge selection of lenses and accessories were made available, including the Contarex Special and the fixed lens Contarex Hologon cameras. Everything made to the highest specifications. A little more than ten years after the introduction of the King of 35mm SLR cameras, both the camera and the manufacturer were history. The reason being the multitude of cameras on the market from the land of the rising sun, which in not much more than a decade had developed reasonable priced camera systems for both amateurs and professionals alike.

The first Contarex was generally available in 1959, the same year as also and introduced their 35mm SLR cameras. However, the Contarex came with a built-in external exposure meter, and it was coupled to the aperture wheel by means of an aperture simulator, as well as to the shutter and film speed settings. In just a few years TTL full aperture metering was introduced by Topcon and the race was on.

The camera body is clutter free and quite easy to use, once it is realised that the lens is set using the aperture wheel to the right on the front and read off a scale on top of the camera in front of the accessory shoe. There is no aperture ring on the Contarex lenses. The shutter speed dial is at the hub of the wind-on lever. The wind lever is short, and the load increases noticeably for the last third of the 180° travel, from the point the mirror and lens iris joins the cocking operation. The shutter release at the top of it, is rough and difficult to press smoothly. It is surrounded by a frame-counter dial, which rotates forever.

A serrated black index ring must be turned to the red mark on the dial when film is loaded, or to the frame number shown on the film magazine frame-counter if that is loaded. The rewind knob is at the left-hand camera top. Download game def jam fight for ny pc. The rewind release is engaged by turning the right-hand camera-back lock-key at the base a bit. It is marked 'R'. The dial surrounding the rewind knob is a film reminder with three film-type indexes, one of these are set against tiny numbers on the edge of the rewind knob, assisted by a tiny stud at the dial. The large serrated outer knob is for easier camera grip.

It does not rotate. On the front of the camera is on the left-hand side the sync.

Contact and the lens release button. On the right-hand side is a small lever. It is released by the shutter release. The cell is in the Bullseye, at the front of the finder housing. It has a wide acceptance angle corresponding approximately to the standard lens. The meter movement is visible in an aperture to the right in the viewfinder, and also in a small window on top of the camera.

All exposure parameters are couplet to the meter, even the lens aperture. This is accomplished using an aperture simulator.

It is an replicating the lens aperture setting, placed in front of the selenium meter cell, and operated by the aperture wheel. To set correct, an appropriate shutter speed is selected, and the aperture wheel turned until the meter needle is centred at the meter index mark.

If no needle is visible, a different shutter speed might help, or possibly too little light is available. The shutter speed dial has speeds engraved in thin numbers from 1 through 1000 and a green B on the rim of the serrated chrome dial. The speed is set against a protruding black triangle on the edge of the wind lever. Flash synchronisation is automatic, provided the correct speed is set.

The speeds on the shutter speed dial is colour coded for correct synchronisation: Black 1 - 1/30 sec. And B for fast M-bulbs. Yellow 1/60 sec. For electronic flash. Red 1/125 - 1/1000 sec.

For slow FP bulbs. The dial is difficult to read if no bright surface is reflected in it to contrast the numbers, and the colour coding is hardly visible for anyone not having acute vision. The film speed dial is below the shutter speed dial. To set the film speed, the shutter speed dial is lifted and the thin serrated ring under it rotated until the correct number appears opposite a black triangle at the edge next to the number '2' on the shutter speed dial. Note that setting the film-speed to anything else than the green mark at the beginning of the ASA scale will limit the range of speeds available. In consequence, shutter speeds between 1/1000 and 1/15 sec.
