Contaflex S Shoot
Visited friend's home on Saturday who's father passed on to her this Contaflex S SLR camera, the last variant introduced in 1968. I like a lot of the reflection it made on her red metallic cabinet.
I learned a little bit more of this camera from Camerapedia.org: "When it was introduced in 1953, the Contaflex SLR was the first 35mm SLR equipped with a between-the-lens leaf shutter. That combination requires a very complex cycle of operations when the release button is pressed. The advantages are compactness and synchronized flash up to the maximum shutter speed. The inconveniences are limited lens interchangeability and mechanical complexity. In particular, no Contaflex model has a rapid return mirror, and all suffer from a limited range of lenses, from 35mm to 115mm focal length."
