I have just found that the Contax IIa that I have bought last Sunday is a very rare camera.
My copy has the "colour dial" (numbers of time selector wheel are coloured) and according to this website:

(read "Why is the Contax IIa Color Dial Camera so Expensive?" paragraph)

only 3000 or so of these cameras have ever been made! Shocked

Yes that was really a lucky day, Attila was right I should have bought a lottery ticket Shocked
I mean, I am sure that if I knew what colour dial meant and if I searched for such a camera, I would have never found it. Instead, I was not looking for it and it happened to me. Life can be really strange.

Congrats Orio!.

This happens from time to time, hopefully it's the life that tries to balance some of the "lemons" one gets also from time to time...

Please, post pictures when you have time.
Thanks, and enjoy it.

Regards,
Jes.
