FS: Contax 139Q and case - $50
... or trade for a working soviet LTM
Fairly late model 139Q ... mid to late 80s I believe, (17... serial).
Works perfectly. One of the most reliable cameras I have, but I got a newer one.
This one does have a slight wihine sound when the shutter is released. I was told by Peter Robinson, who is a repair specialist with these cameras (www.contax139.info), that the whine means its mirror damper needs to be oiled. It's worked great as-is for the past year and a half, and I've used it quite a bit.
Like many of these, its leather outfit is almost completely worn off. It has a few scratches ... but this all seems to make it more bonafide. .
Comes with a tattered case, body cap, an NIB data back, and the manual.
$50 shipped in the conus.
