Zeiss · Germany

The Contina II (527 24) is a folding medium format camera produced by Zeiss Ikon, likely in the mid-20th century. Designed as a compact and user-friendly option for amateur photographers, it exemplifies the era's trend towards more accessible roll film cameras. The camera features a bellows construction allowing it to fold into a relatively small package for portability, housing a lens and shutter assembly typically found in this class. While specific details about its format (likely 6x6cm on 120 film) or lens/shutter are unknown without research, its model number places it within the broader Contina series known for practicality and Zeiss Ikon's engineering applied to the consumer market. It represents a solid, functional camera aimed at enthusiasts seeking quality without the premium cost or complexity of professional models.
