Here I have a nice clean and usable Contax iiA color dial camera.
The shutter speeds sound good and strong from 1/25- 1/1250 (though 1250 is probably not realistic)
The slow speeds are not good though. (a different mechanism controls the slow speeds) 1/10 is probably more like 1/4, 1/5, 1/2 and 1 are sluggish.
(but if you are shooting in the day handheld, you will probably never use these speeds)
B and T work great though, as well as the self timer.
The chrome on this camera is just beautiful though, with only a bit of brassing around the viewfinder, behind the flash shoe, and on bottom corners.
I am including a Russian f2 lens with it. The russian lenses have nice glass,copies of the germans.
But the metal finish is just not up to the german standards. (not that it makes a any difference to the image quality.)
So $150 for the pair and I will throw in a beat up case.
Also, I do have a Zeiss Opton (coated!) 50mm f2. The glass is super clean, appears to have had a filter over the front most of its life.
Unfortunately metal tab that locks it into place is broken! I was thinking I could buy another with ugly glass and swap the elements, but I simply have too many projects and I am trying to clean house!
$50 for the lens as-is.
