Contax D was made at the Zeiss Ikon factory in Dresden in Soviet
Occupied (East) Germany. The camera is a 35mm pentaprism SLR. After
much legal wrangling the Zeiss name was dropped altogether in
1959. The East German Zeiss became VEB Pentacon and later
versions of this camera the Pentacon F. Note the Carl Zeiss Jena
Biotar f2 / 58mm lens
