Most like to collect all or some of the variations .
I am considering spending another £190 to restore two more KNeB II bodies to create a sequence of 1950 / 51 / 52 / 53 .
I discovered a few years back that I like several of the same , or very similar . It worried and intrigued me because something odd was happening with my perceprtion .
It is as if I am not seeing ' Several Inputs ' but ' Input Repeated ' which serves to make the object more solid / more tangible .
My mind seems to see in snapshots , not joining it all together to create a film - disconnected details , so it's very connected to photography with a 50mm lens or more - 67 ex 50 on the M8 , 70 ex 35 on 4/3rds , m43 .
Intellectually , I ' understand ' that I am seeing , say 2 KNeB II cameras , or even a group of Kiev II / Contax II ... but there is this primitive sense of just a repeat of snapshot ' Kontax ' profile .
It worked when several RT or RM London Buses in a row ... as if my mind was seeing RT Bus repeated .
I guess , in a sense , I was , maybe the mind needs another process to work out ' Another ' rather than ' Same Again ' which Autism disrupts .
Sequences also help , maybe since having learned 0 1 2 3 , it's easier to take in ?
One of the proposed KNeB II bodies for restoration is a 1950 , whereby only about 2 - 3000 were made , the other 1953 has the number 532313 which again is comfortable to resolve . I like the fact that the 1950 was the 1st production year , after 1948/9 when the few were given to important Party Officials and are mega rare .
I don't pretend to understand this , but the recognition of a different processing mechanism [ damaged ? ] from the majority helps me to understand why so many of ' Same ' - and finding something rare which my mind feels is almost real and safe creates a craving for more of the same .
Just another input into the world of collecting !
