R2A/R3A in olive and chrome

We can hope there'll be a black Zeiss-Ikon, too. Other colors welcome as well! Navy, Red, Green/Olive...

I've only been following along for a wee bit but that Zeiss Ikon is a looker 🙂

Cheers

Although I didn't order it, an olive green R2 was supplied to my dealer. It was love at first sight.!! It even matches my Manfrotto tripod.
BTW Doug , the little wheel on the Zeiss Contarex, alters the aperture, same as on the Kiev 10 and 15 SLRs. I once owned one of these things, it was heavy enough to hammer in nails!!

Thanks, John; sort of an EV wheel then I gather. Actually I have handled a Contarex or two, but it was long long ago! Interchangeable film magazines in a 35 SLR, amazing design.

The new grey colour Bessa looks like something of old Germany Arms. 🙂

That looks rather fetching.. I wouldnt mind that colour over Olive 🙂 I noticed they added 5,000 yen over the normal 75k yen price of the black bessas for the grey ones. The price for a paint job.. *shakes his head and wonders*
