Zeiss Ikon Contarex Microscope Camera & Zeiss F-Distagon 16mm f/2.8

Zeiss Ikon made a few Contarex bodies exspecially for using with microscopes, it has no finder and no lightmeter, just a body and a focal plain shutter with speeds of 1-1/500 sec, B, T
It has the special mount for the microscope photo tubus and a long flange focus rigister, around 36mm.
That is the reason I have to give the camera a mount of a SLR camera and I decide to use the Rollei/Voigtlander QMB mount because of the excellent Zeiss lenses in this system.
I choose the Fisheye Distagon 16mm f/2.8 One of the best, maybe the best ever made lens in this kind.
The lens in interchangeable and well adjusted.
I gave the camera a finder shoe of the Bessamatic and made a 180° finder for it.
I did not change anything with the camera, all part can be removed without traces.
Ready for using now.
