Bought this Contax II earlier this year, as a back up, but will no longer need it. The shutter fires at all speeds. However the 1/1250 doesn't seem to work; not sure if it's an issue with the tensioning of the ribbons or something else, but the curtains do not form a visible gap. I should also note that while the shutter does fire I don't have the equipment to verify the speeds are correct. The timer works. The serial number on the backplate and body match. The viewfinder is dim and a tad hazy but technically functional. Comes with the take up spool. Has one so called "Zeiss bump" on the back plate and on the front. Someone could use it as a repair project or for spare parts. If you have any questions or would like more images feel free to ask.

I just want to recuperate the money I paid, so the price is set at $250. Looking to sell it within the Continental US

I'll also throw in a roll of Ilford Delta 400 that expired sometime around 2010 I got from work. The roll was kept in a cool dry temperature controlled darkroom, so I believe it should be ok.
 
🛡️ Classifieds Safety Reminder: Please stay safe when buying and selling. Scams via hacked accounts are on the rise globally.

Best Practices: Always use a verified payment method with buyer protection (avoid "PayPal Friends & Family"). Services like Escrow.com are highly secure. Be suspicious of random unsolicited contact via Private Message. If you see suspicious behavior, please use the Report link on the post immediately.
Nice camera. I've had a few of these and the 1/1250th speeds seem never to be anywhere near that speed if they work at all. I don't consider the lack of that one speed a detriment because of that. Even after solid CLA's that speed is always suspect. Good luck with sale. Bob.
 
Thanks for the support Bob. They are great cameras, but don't need two! I think I got fairly lucky on the CLA for my other Contax,

My plan is to reinvest this money into equipment for color photography. So I would like to add that I am open to offers/trades or some sort of combination.
 
Bump.
Last one before I go sell it somewhere else! Accepting offers and trades!

Edit: It'll be up until the weekend
