Go Back   Rangefinderforum.com > 35mm Film Range Finders > Zeiss Contax

Zeiss Contax Forum for the classic Zeiss Contax I, II, III, IIa, IIIa , G series, and if you want to push it, the nice Contax point and shoots. Some spill over from the Kievs, the Soviet copy of the Contax II/III can also be expected. Plus the ONLY production camera ever made in classic Zeiss Contax Rangefinder mount WITH TTL metering ... the Voigtlander Bessa R2C.

Contax Contentment

I admit to aquiring Kievs to satisfy a loss which has nothing to do with cameras .
Having dee'scovered two on-line places where my twin glitches are tended to . I don't do people , but am much less manic .
I love the Contax III , and will get it fixed , next will be the Contax II bitsa .
Nameless / numberless Kievs Enigmas, without names will complete my collection .
Whatever Kiev parts are needed to revive my Contaxes , will be adopted .
Sorted .
Thanks for all your support along the way .

Dee-lighted to help.

The one on the left has the faceplate screws and self-timer lever from a Kiev.



And the lenses are "By Jupiter". the '55KMZ J-3 on the right is "knock your socks off" sharp.
