an ad

I found this ad which was lost since the begining of our fуrum.
From January 1951 na ad of Russian cвmera
They say Contax II but it is really a Kiev 2
They say Jubilee but it is a Komsomoletz
They say Jubilee II but it is a Lubitel (1)
They say Ikomat C but it is a Moskva 2
Take your own conclusions

Sure it was not a 1947 Kiev II instead of a Contax II, Luiz?

Observe they do not mention the Sonnar lens! But factory coated in latest lightwheight rigid mount.
The internal buit-in flash synchro means Kiev 2a .
Never a Kiev 1947 nor a Contax II

My conclusion is: It was written by idiots or lazy people who couldn't be bothered to check the facts of what they were selling.

So unprofessional.

We should get Docotor Who to go back in time and get them fired from their jobs!

I was joking, Luiz! But I had not seen there is a flash synchro.

That said, and just to speak, we find an original flash sync. on the late Jena Contaxes: then it is on the cover. On Kiev 2a, this sync. is on the front. Nothing on the front here. And the paper dates of 1951, the 2a from 1955.

But the photo we have is far from being a proof!
