Hello Grant,
I use a Contaflex Super and have 3 interchangeable backs. They work
quite well but you need to follow a strict procedure to use them
successfully and not lose any frames.
As regards books, there is the Contaflex Manual by Edward S. Bomback
published by Fountain Books, London but this is well out of print now
but perhaps a second-hand book shop in your area might have a book
search facility to find you a used copy. There is the Zeiss Ikon
Compendium which has a section on the Contaflex and this is a current
publication..
You might also ask Marc James Small who subscribes to this group and
is a ZI enthusiast.
