| | Russian Zeiss Contax Copy Kiev (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | The Kiev camera is no plagiarism at all, but a legal replica of the Contax camera, made in the Soviet republic of Ukraine. |
 | | Before the war, Contax cameras were made by Zeiss Ikon AG in Dresden, the capital of the German camera industry - now in the Russian zone of the occupied Germany. |
 | | Unfortunately, the camera was heavy and clumsy, and was not accepted, even by the hard supply controlled, and for the consumer limited, market in the communistic Soviet Union. |
