With this old and valuable camera better to do 'pseudo' photography walk around look throw finder and do nothing else. If you do , this camera surely will not brake it not easy to decide should I run throw a roll or not. I really respect rare old things and such a bad feeling if I brake them. I did a few times already sadly I did brake a Contax D, a Beier Precisa 6x6, still not good to think about it , and these are much more common than this Contax.

You must put at least one film through it, just treat it gently  |

Oh man! It's in great shape! You should consider sending it to Harry Fleanor for a full restoration. He is the man according to most.
That camera is a beauty!

Only paint loss from normal usage camera in perfect working order , don't need restoration. Just I worry at every shutter actions, this is very old and famous from shutter problems, so better to not risk it .

Beautiful camera, Attila, congratulations! I hope that you shoot some film with it. It was, after all, considered the pinnacle of engineering for its time.

I also congratulate for the fine Contax-I. I hope to find one in the future... and use it!
I have all the possible respect towards antiques, but I feel I would care an old, classic camera even more, allowing it to do its job: taking pictures.
Well... tell us when you'll feel tired of that Contax...
Best wishes,

Then, let's wait until I will find a Contax-I: after having shot a film with it, let's see whether I'll be crying in tears for having damaged the camera, or full of joy for a classic, came back to life!
