Hello: Recently I could get a Contax II for small money. The camera was used a lot by the original owner. After his death the camera was stored and forgotten for long time. Now I could buy it. As expected, the shutter curtains are broken and the range finder is dim. I need a trusty repair shop in Europe, preferable in Germany or Austria. I will ask Leica shop in Vienna soon. Any hints are welcome. I date the camera to 1938, is this right? Camera serial is J71454 Lens serial is 2518376 No Zeiss bumps The problem Side by side with a Kiev 4 Hannes

Camera body is 1938/39. Lens is from a batch of 3000 which ended February 6, 1939. My guess is early 1939 for the combination. Tnx for the numbers:-) Hans

Hi Hannes, I do know a very good shop in the NL - a bit far away for you, but here is their website: www.kamera-service.infoWil van Manen did a good job on my Contarexes, both bodies and lenses. Hans
