Eagerly awaiting from Kiev , home of ... well , Kievs ... several compromised Contaxes .
All rebuilt by ex-Arsenal techs . This was and is , a once in a lifetime opportunity as the economic situation in Kiev
is unsettled . They may not be around for much longer . A service and shutter repair is £50 with £20 return shipping , which is acceptable .
Contax II , Kiev II shutter , silver paint body , tan leather .[ from parts camera ]
Contax III restored , shutter and meter repaired . Minor Kiev parts . Original .
Contax IV - Contax III with early and rare , Kiev IV top with plain meter cover as post-war
Contax IIIa - no self timer .
Contax II dirt cheap rat camera - now working sweetly behind it's tired facade . Intended as black , I became intrigued by the contrast twix my near mint Kiev II 1952 and a well travelled Contax II !
Rigid 50 f 2 Sonnar .
In the pipeline is a Kiev IIIa with Kiev IV top , painted Metallic Silver Blue , possibly a Kiev IIIa and Jupiter 8 in the same finish .
Just my favourite Kiev III / IV ' Blue-Belle ' as a 'set ' with lens would be fabulous .
