Broken Kiev rangefinder camera

Hi,

I'm currently looking for non working Kiev rangefinders.

My favorite is Kiev 3a

Feel free to send me a message.

Best,
Jed - (Kiev addict )

Hi Jed,
if you are still looking for Kiev parts: http://www.ebay.de/itm/KameraKonvolut-ContaxWerke-II-III-Kiev-Kneb-fr-Bastler-Reparatur-/121678704060

Regards, Alexander

It seems impossible to open the link from France, even through eBay Germany or eBay.com.
If you succeed, Jed, will you tell me how you manage? I am interested too.

Thanks. Jacques.

Here are the cameras:

Start price is set to 79,- Euro, 5 days before the end and there are no bids yet. May be the seller set this auction for Germany only.
There are more pictures, if you want I can upload here all of them.



Regards, Alexander

Jacques asked me last December not to interfere with ongoing auctions, maybe because he was interested to buy himself and mentioning that ongoing auction here made it known for many other collectors, which might rise the selling price. As Ulrich said, special was a Zeiss lens from 1945 for Contax.

Besides that, these Kievs shown here, are in an ongoing auction and shouldn't be discussed because that violates the "Code of Conduct".

There is no discussion on item authenticity or validity , merely a link share on auction that is not poster's, I don't see a reason here this interferes with seller's business in negative way . I do not see a breach of rules.

Hi Alexander,

Thanks lots for your message ;)

I'm afraid I only saw your message today... what a shame, months later.

It seems it ended unsold. Interesting and uncommon auction ! That's sad someone butchered such valuables cameras....

Dear Jed,

If you need any help or expertise with the repair of the Kiev camera's send me a message. I have a lot of experience with this camera.

Good Luck!

Hi, are you still after one? Kiev III serial-5723336 and J-8 5742506. Shutter jammed, cell does respond to light.

Best regards,
Juhani
