He is wrong , factory was moved to Kiev , none of them made in East Germany. Contax made in Germany , before war and after war in Stuttgart, cameras from Stuttgart entirely different. 1949 50 ZK , KIEV rare even in Russia.

I think Attila is right, I read that they were originally going to call the Kiev 'Volga' after the river, and I expect the unmarked ones are the earliest production before this decision was finalised.

I am haunted by a memory. I saw a 1955 Zorki for sale for less than $100. It had a 1950 sonnar on it. I didn't buy it, and it's gone.

Hello,
this Kiev is a very interesting and rare indeed camera, especially for its matching, excellent ZK 50/1,5 (the small missing screw to the winding knob is just nothing, and an easy to restore detail).
I think that the 1949 Kiev was entirely made at the Arsenal plant, under the direct control of the moved-to-east "volunteer" ex-Zeiss technicians.
Most probably, the greater part of the 1947 Kievs were made in Saalfeld, with the tools prepared for the Jena-Contax and ready german-made parts, while the Soviet personnel was being trained to work.
The "no-name Contax" is another story, well explained by Kuc in his fine work "Auf den Spuren der Contax" (vol. 2).
Again, I congratulate for this fine 'heir' of the rangefinder Contax-II!
All the best,
Enzo |
