Roger Lemasson appeared to have been an engineer who adapted mainly Berthiot lenses for Contax (he also adapted the same lenses for Leica). Angulor 28/4.5, chrome (Westlicht Auction #9,, marked R.LEMASSON ing Paris on the barrel).Various Japanese wide-angle lenses primarily made for the Nikon rangefinder models are perfectly compatible on the Contax cameras these are not necessarily listed here (see Nikon rangefinder lenses). The Panflex reflex housing was released in 1951. Tessar 115mm f:3.5, black finish, to use with the Panflex reflex housing and bellows.Biogon 35mm f:2.8 (shorter rear element, mounts on all Contax types).Earlier ones are marked Zeiss Opton, later on marked Carl Zeiss. Goerz-Dagor 2.5cm f:9, made in 1932, in Contax mount, one example survived so far, located in GermanyĪll are chrome models, produced after the war by the Western part of Carl Zeiss.made in 1936, several examples survived so far made in 1936, one example survived so far, located in Germany made in 1936, two examples survived so far, both located in Germany Fernobjektiv 50cm f:8, only Flektometer mount.Sonnar 30cm f:4, first Flektoskop mount, then Flektometer mount.Sonnar 18cm f:2.8, first Flektoskop mount, then Flektometer mount.

Triotar 13,5cm f:4.5 (rare, usually for Leica or Exakta mount).Biometar 8cm f:2.8 (extremely rare, only 5 lenses were made).Biogon 3,5cm f:2.8 (large rear element, does not mount on Contax IIa or IIIa).Fernobjektiv 50cm F:8, first direct mount (rare), then Flektoskop mount (rare)Īfter the war, the Eastern part of Carl Zeiss continued to produce lenses for the Contax, mostly alloy versions:.Sonnar 30cm f:4 in Flektoskop mount (rare).Sonnar 18cm f:2.8, first direct mount (rare), then in Flektoskop mount.Panflex Tessar 13.5cm f:4 (rare, only about 10 lenses survived so far).Tessar 5cm f:3.5 (collapsible or rigid).Sonnar 5cm f:2 (collapsible or rigid (rare)).Biogon 3.5cm f:2.8 (large rear element, does not mount on Contax IIa or IIIa).Fernobjektiv 50cm F:8, (only direct mount, rare)Ĭhrome models, at the time of the Contax II and III:.Tele-Tessar K 30cm f:8 (direct mount, then Flektoskop mount, rare).Tessar 2.8cm f:8 (uncoupled to the rangefinder).This mount should not be confused with the lens mount of the Contax G, see Contax G lenses.Ĭarl Zeiss Sonnar 50mm f/2 (pre-WW2 model) on Contax IIIa (1956) Carl Zeiss Jena īlack and nickel lenses, at the time of the Contax I: The wide angle lenses are marked SC (for Nikon S and Contax), and can be mounted on a Contax body. Quite surprisingly, the new Voigtländer company, owned by Cosina, also launched a new rangefinder body in 2002 using the Contax RF mount, called the Bessa R2C, together with a range of lenses in Nikon RF mount. The other lenses mount on an external bayonet and have their own focusing ring, only the rangefinder coupling is done via the body's focusing ramp. So the standard lenses have no focusing ring of their own. There is a focusing helical built in the body and the standard lenses mount directly in that focusing ramp via an internal bayonet. This mount is in fact the combination of two bayonets. Nikon copied the mount for their own rangefinder cameras just after the war but, being this a voluntary difference or a simple mistake, their lens mount is slightly different and only the wide angle lenses are interchangeable, the standard and tele lenses having a wrong focus coupling. This mount was also used by the Kiev followers of the Contax, from the first models to the Kiev 5. The Contax II and III used the same mount, as well as the postwar Contax IIa and Contax IIIa models. The Zeiss Ikon Contax I introduced a new lens mount in 1932, today known as Contax rangefinder mount.
