Books on Contax

[spluff]

Hi Folks,

Does anybody know if a book exists on the Contax family of cameras and the history of the brand?

I'm looking for a overview of the various cameras that they have produced and their respective specifications.

Thanks in advance, Saras

There are many, many books on Contax. German, Japanese and English.

Try a search on "Books Contax" using any search engine .... you'll see what I mean!

But .... here's your starter for ten ..... try Christoph Ozdoba's Contax site and look for the link to Literature.

When you are feeling adventurous have a browse around my favourite site - Gokurakudo Cameras at

http://zeiss.hp.infoseek.co.jp/index02.htm

using an on-line translator (like Babelfish).

For something really scary in the books department - have a look at their literature pages
e.g.

Thanks Kyocera Kid!!

Not sure about the Japanese site - but you've pointed me in the right direction.

Cheers, Saras

OK Saras

Persist with the Japanese site ...... it's an Aladdin's cave of information (even if it's via Babelfish)!

Glad I could help.
