Contina 1a

[atlaz]

Hi,

I was the recipient of a Contina 1a (and AKA rangefinder) today as a Christmas present from parents who know what a gadget (new and old) freak I am. My 35mm film shooting days are some time in my past (I'm in my mid-30s and have been shooting digital for 10 years now) and I'm excited to get back into film.

Just wondering if anyone has a manual for the Contina 1a at all or knows where to get one. I've found an online seller with them for 13 euros but I assume there must be a free resource out there somewhere (I found one for my 70s era Lomo for example).

Thanks in advance...

Nice Christmas present. You could do a search for "Butkus" for a manual.

Thanks Bob. I looked there before and unless the 1a is masquerading as another camera (say, they renamed part of the range), they don't seem to have it.
