The Contessa line was designed to fill the market niche of affluent people who
did not consider themselves photographers, but who wanted, and could afford the
cost of a simple to use camera of high quality. This was the same market segment
that Kodak marketed the Retina to. Even though the Zeiss were usually a step
ahead in design, and the quality was always just as good, the superior marketing
of Kodak (read massive advertising budget) dominated this market.
