Description
You finally have that beautiful Contax or Kiev in your hands, the shutter works, but when loading the film you notice: the spool is missing! This is a classic issue with these cameras, as the loose spools tend to fall out and get lost during film changes. So your camera doesn’t have to gather dust on the shelf, we designed this take-up spool.
It fits perfectly into your camera’s mount and replaces the rare original part. Just thread the film, insert the spool, and you’re ready to go. Made in Germany so you can fully focus on your subject instead of struggling with slipping film. We use it ourselves in our Kiev cameras – works flawlessly.
Compatibility
This spool replaces the original take-up spool in the following models:
- Contax (Zeiss Ikon): I, II, III (pre-war models)
- Kiev (Arsenal): 1, 2, 3, 4, 4a, 4m
- Smena (Lomo): 8, 8M, 9
