I brought all my Kiev and Arsenal [ Ukraine ] Techs reclaimed Contax / Kiev hybrids together with a view to recycling some via e-bay for a much more usable / sensible Fujifilm X-Pro2 body .
There are two problems with this - a Contax T2 in gold is currently going to bring in £100 plus another £150 from some other stuff . Even £90 for a Contax - Leica M adapter ...
So the pressure is off .
The second problem is I just don't wish to lose any of the 17 , even though my film days are long gone .
I thought that I might be cured into keeping just -
Contax II , ex -Rat silver paint + tan leather . silky smooth .
Contax/Kiev II - Contax controls etc , Kiev shutter perfect .
Contax III + Kiev 4 meter [ new cell ] and controls , perfect .
KNeB IIIa + Kiev 4 meter [ new cell ] and controls, love it .
.....but it did not work that way , maybe another time !
