HOW TO TAKE CARE
OF THE CONTAX
It is advisable to clean the film track, the
spool chambers
and the back of the CON
T A X carefully with a soft hairbrush or a
hand blower If the lens surfaces are dirty
they shOl~ld be cleaned with lens tissue
paper or with a soft washed-out piece of
linen.
Dust particles should be removed
with a
handblower beforehand to avoid
scratching
of the lens surface. The lens
should only
be cleaned when absolutely
neccessary
The external chromium-plated
parts of the CON T A X can be cleaned,
when
required, with a soft piece of linen.
As a branded product of highest quality
each CON T A X camera and each CON
T A X lens is engraved with a serial num-
ber. On the camera, the serial number is
engraved on the finder shoe (convenient
for customs purposes), and also inside the
camera, visible when back is removed. On
the lens, the serial number will be found
on
the front mounting ring.
It
is recommended that a record be kept
of these serial numbers which may be of
valuable aid in tracing a loss or theft.
