If you’ve seen our shop before you’ll know that we enjoy collecting, servicing and using classic cameras. Collecting is a real passion for us and we search everywhere to find interesting cameras for your collections, as well as our own. For years we’ve regularly received emails asking us if we can provide manuals and information about the wonderful Contax rangefinder cameras.

Well, as promised, we’ve finally organized a large collection of information as well as scanning our extensive library of original items to create a unique Contax download. In it you’ll find instruction manuals, user booklets, information about lens, various accessories and original prices. There are also countless charming period illustrations & fine photos that can clear up questions that you may have and help identify models. In short, this download contains many hours of reading that is both informative as well as occasionally amusing. It will give you an excellent insight into the rich history of this amazing camera and how far we have developed in the seventy years since the Contax rangefinder camera was originally introduced in 1932.

In addition to manuals for the pre-war models I, II and III we’ve included manuals for the post-war Contax IIa and IIIa, as well as a manual for the Contax S & Contax D (which of course helped pioneer the features and the look & feel of the modern 35mm SLR).

The download features high quality scans in a PDF format that makes it very easy to print up the information or manual of your choice cleanly and clearly. Instead of surfing the internet, dealing with illegible reprints or buying one manual at a time, you’ll have everything at your finger tips. In one easy purchase you’ll have access to information and hard to find documentation that’s taken us many years to acquire.In total there are 187 files with over 500 MB’s of information.
