Hello,
I live in Northern Italy (province of Trento) and am an enthusiast of the rangefinder Contax system.
All started with my grandfather's Contax-II: bought in 1937, and used (also in the Russian campaign 1941-43!) until he passed away in 1979: now, his camera is mine and still works properly, although aesthetically it shows age and wear.
When I was a young student and with very few money in my pocket, I felt like a king buying in 1975 a Kiev-4A: this camera is still one of my favourite ones.
Recently, I've added a Contax IIa outfit with Zeiss-Opton lenses, to accompany Zeiss Jena and Jupiter ones.
I usually photograph landscape, architecture and generally, outdoors.
Last but not least, I apologize for having become a member of this Community since a long time, without introducing myself earlier.
Best wishes,
E.L.
