I got this email this morning from Henry Scherer:

Dear Frank,
>Both of your IIa camera bodies are in reliablility testing, which I am
>certain they will pass. They will be ready to ship to you on Friday.
>Both have extremely fine and highly accurate shutters in them. All the
>opticals are clear and clean and the rangefinders are accurate and
>aligned properly. They are both very fine cameras.

YIPPY!
 
Congrats, I can't wait for mine to be done.

I will also note this email to see how similar the one I get will be.

Congrats Frank! That gave me a warm feeling all over.:D I have coveted the Contax IIa for some time now ("Both" ?!?:eek:), but it'll be a while before I get one.
 
if i make it to 65, i'm selling everything i own at the time and buying a contax and a nikon rf and 2 lenses, a 35 and 50.

and that will be it for me...;)

I bet that was a good email to get Frank! My first real rf was a Kiev 4, and I've wanted a Contax IIa ever since... Nearly picked up a dicey one 'found in grandpa's cupboard' for $150 early this year, but was outbid at the last minute... One of these days I'm going to put togther the $$ as I have a good set of fsu lenses... Enjoy!

By the time you are sixty five where will you get film?

Congrats, Frank!

I remember the first time I got cameras back from Henry S. I could not believe how smoothly the sticky shutter and grinding wind knob operated. Also, cleaning years of accumulated gunk off the lenses worked wonders. Enjoy your "new" Contaxes
 
Wow, that email has to raise the anticipation level 10x at least! You'll be a very happy guy soon... :D
 
It will be a nice day, Frank, when those cameras finally come to you rejuvenated, ready to go another 50 years without a service. Congratulations!!
