The Contax II was a high end 35mm rangefinder camera made by Zeiss Ikon. It was released in 1936 and was the successor of the Contax I.

It was the first camera with a rangefinder and viewfinder combined in a single window. The rangefinder had a very large base to enable precise focusing.

The Contax III was the same model with an exposure meter. It was one of the first cameras with a built-in exposure meter.
