Time for a spot of camera history. This is a Contaflex TLR and was released by Zeiss Ikon in 1935. What is important about this camera is that despite it looking like a medium format camera it is actually a 35mm camera. But more significantly it was the first camera in the world with a built in light meter. And not only that, it also has interchangeable lenses. This camera is an engineering masterpiece and a fascinating piece of camera historical.
