We think its a late iid or a iie. Its got the 75mm f3.5 Xenar lens with the X sync upgrade and a lenticular focus screen with the grid.

Cool, Xenar is said to be a good lens. Serial number says 1948/9. Is it all working?
Mrs Rod is still agonising over Contaxes as she has nowt else to get me for Christmas it seems. It could happen I guess but I am starting to feel a bit bad about it. She is also getting the Zeiss fever that I no have to try to keep under control. |

So the other half is getting GAS then? It does seem to spread. Or do you mean buying for you? Is it the Contax ii she is looking for? I guess you have decided against a Kiev then? Serial number starts 1108 so puts around 49-50ish. All appears to be in working order but I need to run a film through it. I took the lens unit apart and cleaned it up as best I could for the taking lens and I also took the hood off to clean the taking lens up as well. I just need to stick the leather back down.

I was really stuck for things I wanted this year so I idly bunged her Mission Impossible. It's not going that well, you know what ebay is like. Hopefully a Contax iiA, wait and see what fate brings me.
I went off the lens serial number so I guess it's most likely 1949! |

Either way I am happy with it, didn't cost and arm and a leg either. That's a bit of a hard one for a non-camera collector to deal with!

I didn't bother in the end. I've got a mountain of toys to sell on ebay and a load of other things going on so I gave it a miss.
I think Mrs Rod is more up on the many variations of Contax than I am just now! She says she missed out on a couple of listings, I'm wondering if she's bluffing me. She sort of has her revenge as she bought herself a vintage tea set earlier this year. It was missing a couple of bits to we've ended up scouring gumtree, ebay etc. to find them, and I have a few things for her for Christmas, so I've had to figure that out. It's a lot simpler for sure but navigating the listings is harder as these things don't have model numbers or names, even if they did no one would know them any more! |

perused the Doncaster flea market this morning, not much there but saw a Seagull Reflex SLR. Didn't get it, seemed a pretty solid lump.

Was it a DF300? They are the same as the Minolts 300/370S models. I sent off three rolls this morning to Snaps. Canon AE1, and OM1/Trip 35 test films.
