"Contessa was the name given to a family of 35mm film cameras produced by Zeiss Ikon in Stuttgart between 1950-1955 (folding) and 1960-1971 (non-folding), the name is a reference to the Contessa-Nettel factory. These were mid to high-end rangefinder/viewfinder cameras with fixed lens. The lens was a Tessar 45/2.8 or 50/2.8 lens which produced very good pictures for the time. The original name for the Contessa's camera design was 522/24 Ikonta 35 which was then changed to 533/24, with the old designation going to the Contina for the lower-end cameras in 1954."
