Contax IIIa / Kiev 4

Hello,

Just want to share some close up pictures of my Contax IIIa repair [:)]

See focusing wheel and rangefinder window :

Slow speed timer and high speeds curtain shaft (located below top plate) :

Front plate and lightmeter :

IMHO focusing is easier with Kiev 4. But Contax IIIa has some nice improvements (changing speeds is easier, viewfinder is slightly better...) Contax IIIa still has ribbons inside. I originally thought they were replaced by gears but it's wrong [:0]

Best,
Jed
