jed	Posted - Nov 07 2008 : 3:17:58 PM My issue is about Contax II but as you know the relation with Kiev rangefinder camera it might interest some of you there So, a couple of months ago I was dismantling a Contax II when looking at the front plate I saw that marking : "22 OKT 1937" Camera serial number is F421xx. According to a French book the camera was made in 1937. This seems to be a proof I never seen something like that with Kiev camera... But I may be wrong Any comments ? Best, Jed
