Contax Accessories East and West

Contax cameras were made in both East and West Germany. This made for an interesting variety of lenses accessories and cameras. In many cases the optics and accessories made in Stuttgart West Germany were made better with nicer machining and finishes. However the East Germans (items marked JENA) made excellent optics.
