Just got the Contaflex (Super) I won on eBay. 
Its gorgeous and has some heft to it. Even so I like the feel in my hand 
It has a neat feature - a film frame countdown on the winder - set the number of frames and it countdowns as you wind.
Here's a couple shots (via Lana's P+S  )
I don't know why but I love the brown leather everready case that came with it, and its red velvet lining.
Though I'd take a family shot - beside its 126 kin - note the family resemblence
Can't wait to load it up for a go, but I think I'll download the manual first from Orphan cameras.
I better watch it or I'll get hooked on old German cameras 
Jim
