There is a very scarce lens hood on biogon, how do you find it?

I just received my first rangefinder, a 1950 contax IIa with a 50 f2 sonnar lens. I shot one roll of color and one roll of black and white. I was extremely impressed by the quality. This camera is amazing.
This is one of the photographs from the roll of color.

Are they serving Czech beer in Bavarian glasses in the states? Your picture shows a Hofbräu glass.
Cheers,

Mine came in a box dissembled. I spent over a month replacing ribbons, main spring and calibrating everything.
Was not easy but I was very happy with the end result.
But now it works perfectly and it was faster (cheaper) than Henry.

Yes I too have the madness.
All of these work including all firing on 1/1250th - cannot guarantee it is 1/1250th but it produces a comparable neg to 1/500th at a smaller aperture so they are probably all a bit out!
