On the Contax- the lens dates to 1937, must be original with the camera. Nice combination, put some film through it! The Classic Sonnar can give some fine results, but best used with a lens hood. It takes 40.5mm screw-in filters and hood. At F4, it is quite sharp. I use one with my Leica, adapted to thread mount.

On the Rolleiflex- I just looked it up, looks like a 1950 model 4. I've got to find my Rolleiflex guide!
