*If* this is exactly the code shown, and contentView is an instance variable, then this is a poor example. Particularly if contentView is declared as a retained property:
        @property (nonatomic, retain) UIImageView *contentView;
in which case the dealloc method should also release contentView and you'll then crash when dealloc is invoked.

If contentView is declared as an assigned property:
        @property (nonatomic, assign) UIImageView *contentView;
then the memory management is correct, but...

You are typically discouraged from assigning values to instance variables anywhere other than in init methods. Elsewhere you should use accessor methods, as this makes the memory management clear.

It would be better to do:

UIImageView *anImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:...];
self.contentView = anImageView;
self.view = anImageView;
[anImageView release];
