Contax IIa case straps

[wsrkar]

Does anyone make replacement straps for the Zeiss Contax IIa case. I found Zeiss binocular case straps a few years ago but that contact is out of business. This is for show and not to use!

No, the Contax hasn't been made since the early 1960s, and Zeiss Ikon ended all production in the 1970s. Third-party production of nearly all items (except for occasional lens-mount adapters for Leicas and a small number of lenses from Cosina) ended long, long ago.

Your best bet is to go to a leather store -- like a company that sells saddles and such -- and see if they can custom make you a strap. I think that would be your best hope.

Either that, or coming upon some old "new" stock of cases with straps.
