A scheene Leich - Need repairshop for Contax II

[hannes]

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

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:-)

I thought you will like it :-)

Do you have any suggestions where to send it for a shutter repair and CLA?

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.info
Wil van Manen did a good job on my Contarexes, both bodies and lenses.
