It must be some thirty five years old, or so. If memory doesn´t betray me, it was a small, heavy, with rounded borders, single lens reflex camera (35 mm),equipped with a Tessar lens (by Zeiss), with a Synchro Compur shutter, and mirror stayed blocked up after shooting, coming back to viewing position when film was advanced. There were several versions of this camera, and they used to be fitted with a Tessar lens (Zeiss). The Super series had semi-interchangeable lenses, named Pro-Tessar, 35 mm., 50 mm., and 85, or maybe 90 mm. Being semi-interchangeable means you only changed the front elements, while the rear part of the lens, with shutter, always stayed in the camera body. These cameras had no lightmeter, but the Super BC series used a selenium one in the front part, over the lens.Tessar lenses are high contrast, and pretty sharp. Planar lenses are much better, but these ones were used in the Contarex.
Try to see if it works, what wouldn´t surprise me, if it has been kept in a safe, dry place.
