The Ins ide Story
You will probably want to know more about-what goes
on inside your
CONTAFLEX,
and how this masterpiece of
optical and mechanical precision engineering really
works . But please don't satisfy your curiosity by attack-
ing the camera with a screw driver or pliers - it
certainly won't do your
CONTAFLEX
any good! Never-
theless we should like to give you some idea of the
internal anatomy of your camera, and have therefore
shown a cross-section of it on the last page. There you
can follow the path of the light from the lens via the
mirror and finder system to the eye. The letters of the
illustration indicate the following details:
