Re: File - zicg-info.txt
Hi everyone, I hope you are all staying well, despite the huge challenge we all face right now. I think it's too much to hope that nobody here will be affected by COVID-19, so all I can say is take

Re: I don't understand some people!
I don't think such exaggerations are helpful. It's not true that "honest people are few and far between". That is not my experience at all, not even on ebay. That said, the motto is "caveat emptor",

Re: I don't understand some people!
To all decent and honest people out there. It is no use making our selfs mad. even if you get the seller off the Internet within 10 seconds it will be advertised on 200 different accounts . And for

Re: I don't understand some people!
Hi I'm betting this guy is aware of what he's doing. I sent him a message indicating it wasn't a Contax but he didn't reply. Javier On Monday, March 2, 2020, 04:06:56 PM EST, Michael Moffatt

Re: I don't understand some people!
Stuff like this makes me mad. I just wonder whether he had no idea and overpaid for it himself. Now just trying to offload the thing... Here it is again (same lens serial). A higher asking price and

Re: I don't understand some people!
To judge by some of the other items that seller has on offer which are marked "Cambridgeworld", he is either 1) linked to [the former] Cambridge Camera in New York; or 2) is stealing images from them.

Re: I don't understand some people!
I sent him a 5 dollar offer with a note saying "You realize that's a Kiev" He sent me a counter offer for 369! He sells shutter curtains and other photo related stuff. On Monday, March 2, 2020,

Re: I don't understand some people!
PS, note that the seller has a positive feedback rate on ebay of only 95%, which is frankly terrible. Buyers should be aware of the risks (all they have to do is to click on the profile) and if they

This article by Henry Scherer is of relevance in the context of this discussion: http://www.zeisscamera.com/articles_JenaContax.shtml Someone should fix a "nice try" comment to the ebay ad. Perhaps

Re: I don't understand some people!
Looking in my 1939 copy of 'Contax Photography', some early Contaxes had the 'ZEISS IKON' logo to the right of the RF window. I can only assume this person is trying to fake a Jena Contax (in which

Re: I don't understand some people!
I suppose it is an almost genuine Contax. :-) Just that it's made in Kiev after the war. I am not aware that bona fide Contax IIs had the Zeiss Logo engraved below the focusing wheel.. And anyway,
