Hi . I am new here . I have an Autistic glitch and both Leica II , and ex USSR Leica-likes are my comfort zone . Neither can I answer the M/F question with any accuracy ! LOL .
But mostly , It's Contax / Kiev - sometimes combined !
I am awaiting from Kiev -
Contax II with Kiev shutter , silver body , tan leather . Contax III repaired and serviced with help from another C III body ... and that same Contax body combined with a parts Kiev 4 to create a Contax IIIa look-alike .
I have rigid and collapsible Sonnars for the II / III and Russian 1959 50 / f1.5 Jupiter 3 glass in a 1937 mount for the Contax IV ... which will be seriously cool .
All have been restored in the original Arsenal works by the techs who made Kiev cameras .
I shall also be indulging in some altered Kiev II / III cameras in blue metallic paint , with a Blue lens to match ! Also , hopefully , a black Kiev III body and Kiev 4 top and meter ...
I quite like my Kontaxes !
