I have posted before about my 1952 KNeB II .

It really is like a new camera - as if just unappreciated and set aside .
It just feels ' new ' .
I can't explain what I mean - it's like shopsoiled or a demo camera .

With CLA it will be just £130 - for what is effectively an early 50s Contax II made in Ukraine , a tribute to the Arsenal techs capabilitiies . I love it .

I know that I am into Konversions , but this camera is something special - a time warp .
It's become my favourite Kontax , by far !

It's the antithesis of my reinvented cameras and quite otherwise from a nicely patinaed Kiev II 1951 , or my expected Contax III .
I gues I like patina , but new is better LOL
