Plenty of these on eBay lately, and there is a noticeable price downtrend. You can get a decent item for less than $60 even as "buy it now".

I wouldn't say this is a rare camera, but I don't see a lot of these on eBay lately.

mir.com.my has one of the best and detailed descriptions of motor and winder for this camera - http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/ha ... /index.htm

Some people may consider this camera as a collectible one, but most still enjoy this camera in the field :)

Reportedly, quality of these cameras (as well as all "Kievs") is inconsistent. Especially comparing to the original Contax.

"Body only" is about $800-1200.

A lot of people still actually use these cameras, and do not consider them as "collectible".

Body only is about $25-30. Could go up to $70 if it's in a really mint condition.

I think these cameras are under-uppreciated as collectibles.

There is a nice discussion about this camera at photo.net forum - http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=000nBP
