A lovely collection. Lenses have been adapted for this. You can find (expensive) Contaflex 126 to m42 and M39 adapters.

It is not an attic find if you put it there!!!....only joking...
Fine camera, but the 126 film is the problem, 35 mm will fit the cassette, but most designs depend on the one sprocket per shot for spacing.

Francois, you only miss the 25mm (of which only 1000 are made... they are expensive, if you find one) Can you provide the body number (N.....) and the Distagon 32mm number?
On the Internet there are several instructions how to use 35mm film into a 126 cassette. Within the ZHS (Zeiss Historica Society) several members are still actively using the Cflex 126; the only moan I hear is the lack of a proper flatness of the film due to the poor manufacturing standards of the plastic 126 cassette.
if you ever want to sell the 85mm, remember me...

My first "real" camera was a Contaflex II. Loved that camera. It taught me more about photography in general than any other camera that I have owned. I gave it to my son, and it is on display in his widow's home. Some day I will own another for obvious sentimental reasons.
