Hello,

Just came across that Zeiss advertising from a 1940 Soviet Photo magazine. I thought that camera wasn't sold in the Ussr.

I had seen the magazine, but not the advertising for Contaxes.
Thanks, Jed.
I agree with you: surprising. But the Germano-Sovietic pact was not yet broken, in 1940. All was still perfect...

Amitiés. Jacques.
