contaflex super b

The H2 was beyond economic repair for me so I sold it on and got ten pounds for the body. The lens sold separately for eleven pounds and I've kept the very nice brown leather case for now.
With £21 to spend I quickly found this Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super B. In fact it was only £18 which I was pleased with, however on receipt it turned out that the prism had moved so nothing is visible through the finder. The lens also needs a clean, but otherwise the camera is in very good condition working order.
It is beautifully well made as one might expect from zeiss and I'm looking forward to trying it out once I've sorted the prism. It is reputed to be one of the better users from the contaflex line up with it's recomputed tessar and auto aperture. We'll see.
