Zeiss Ikon very rare Contaflex TLR 35mm camera with a rare 50/1.5 Sonnar

Rare and nice twin lens reflex camera made by Zeiss Ikon (ca 1935), it's the Contaflex a beautiful and well-built camera for film 35mm. It comes with the most rare and fast standard lens Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm F:1.5 Sonnar (usually it's "easy" to find with the 50/2 Sonnar). As is possible to see from the pictures it's in very good condition with light signs of use for its age. Very well kept also the albada viewer, it usually is easily damaged. Some little "stains" on the reflex mirror. In very good condition also the lens, with some dust inside, a little haze and alittle marks on the front glasses (normal for the age). There are some little oil on the blades. Unfortunately the shutter and the light meter aren't in working order (it's common for these cameras), they were well built but too "complicated". There is a film spool. A great camera for the collector.
