Does anyone know the specs for this camera?
I've been looking for over an hour and I can't seem to find the weight or dimensions of the body. If anyone knows that would be really helpful. Also a full spec sheet would be even better.

A link to get you started.

I am not aware of any spec sheets available online for this camera, but a book called "On the Trail of the Contax, Volume One", by Hans-Jurgen Kuc would have additional information, perhaps even weight and dimensions of body. Fairly compact body (roughly 6 in wide, 4 in tall and 1.75 in deep), pretty heavy too, but I don't have a decent estimate
The camera in your post is commonly called the Contax If, as judged by the arrow near the shutter speed selector.

A nice camera it is. Enjoy it. I used to have the same lens.

This is a later version of the Contax I. The flip-out foot around the tripod mount was on later models. Plus, the advance knob is knurled. I can't tell, but I think that you have slow speeds.
You have a very clean model.
I've never thought that the Contax I is a great user model for several reasons. But it's a unique camera in Zeiss Ikon history.
I hope that you enjoy using it.
