Its entirely new design and construction offer many advantages and conveniences not found in any other camera. In Gontax the 92 years' experience of Carl Zeiss in the manufacture of quality lenses, and the 77 years' experience of Zeiss Ikon and its predecessor companies in the manufacture of fine cameras, have been combined to produce a camera that is truly outstanding in dependability, accuracy and ease of operation. Gontax offers a choice of 15 easily interchangeable Carl Zeiss Lenses — but even with only one of its universal type lenses you'll be better equipped than with many a larger camera. For utmost convenience in composing and focusing, range-finder and view-finder are combined in one eye-piece . . .
