Hi,

Does anyone know, please, which model Kiev shutters may be used to replace a one broken on a Contax III?

Just before it broke:

I think it's the Kiev 3 shutter that is compatible but if anyone has info on other models that might suit, please let me know.

I can't answer your question directly, but have you thought about repairing the Contax shutter?  Replacing the entire shutter is probably going to be major surgery anyway and you may just need to replace the shutter tapes in your current shutter.

Thanks for your reply. I think the problem may be solved. I originally sent this camera to Europe to get restored and understood that the shutter had been replaced with one from a Kiev 3. I ended up managing to contact the technician again (it's been a few years) asking if he could sell me a new shutter to replace it locally. He told me that he hadn't replaced the entire Contax shutter but just elements of it with Kiev parts. He also kindly offered to fix it free of charge if I pay the postage. So I will take him up on that. All the best
