The Contaflex TLR is a fairly rare beast. It weighs over 3 pounds and cost between $250 and $372 when it was introduced in 1935. Only a handful were sold. It was made by Ziess Ikon, the manufacturer of the Contax camera. Interchangeable lenses were available. It was the first camera to have a built in exposure meter.
