Description
extremely rare early Kiev in excellent original condition, with matching Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 1.5/5cm T no.2724869. While a first relocation of the Contax production line from Zeiss Ikon Dresden to Kiev in 1945 was a failure, two other production lines made by Carl Zeiss Jena were probably relocated to Kiev successfully in 1947. It seems that the 'Kiev', as it was called now, was a mixture of „Jena“ and „Dresden“ shaped parts from the start, as it can be seen in this example. Some parts of this unnumbered camera are shaped just like Dresden parts, (for example the focusing scales and the frame counter), while other important parts are shaped like „Jena“ parts. In later 1948 and 1949 the „Jena“ parts were gradually omitted during production in favour of „Dresden“ shaped parts. All in all this camera is an interesting document of the Kiev history in beautiful pristine condition. According to some sources only two of these cameras are known - an unique opportunity for Zeiss and Kiev collectors!
