KNeB II 1950 /51 / 52 / 53 ?

[dee]

I am SO tempted by two reasonably priced non working KNeB II bodies 1950 [ very few made , 1st year of mass production ] 1953 .

I have the funds with Mike Haley for 2 more restorations for a Kiev II and IIa , both 1956 , but this would be simply a dream sequence - even with just one 1951 lens between them .

Maybe this Autism speak - what do you think , considering that they are off true Contax quality ?

Thanks

Dooooo It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - I bought a kiev-4a recently and I like the viewfinder on it better than the Canon P I recently bought. WHat I see in the Kiev viewfinder is what I get on film!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Certiainly not the same with the P- Kievman

Dee, you of all people know that this a retorical question. You know you are going to buy it, you just want the rest of us to know it and be jealous😛 By the way, I have a 1949/50 Kiev 2 with a ZK lens and it is a joy to use. I don't use it near as much as I should, but it is still wonderful to pull out and take around with me. I have not really had any issues with it what so ever. To tempt you even more, one pic of mine in all her glory...
