Chronology of cameras Contax
The Contax T VS III is the last in the line of high-end 24 x 36 compact cameras, automatic (with defeatable automation), made of titanium, manufactured in Japan at Yashica's factories. Like its predecessors, it features an excellent Carl Zeiss T* lens. It has a double-blade central shutter. The autofocus can be switched to manual focus. Exposure can be automatic or in aperture priority mode.
To exit the program mode, simply press the small gray switches on the front with a fingertip and choose an aperture visible on a mini LED screen inside the flap. A correction dial allows adjustment of up to +/- 2 stops (adjustment visible in the viewfinder). The viewfinder covers 83% of the frame.
The ergonomics of the dial on the top right-hand side are designed for action: power switch, followed by a choice between autofocus or manual distance selection.
This model marks the swan song of the brand in the "24 x 36 compact for street photography" niche. It compares favorably with the best in this type of camera, which are typically well-crafted and also expensive, such as the renowned Minolta TC-1, Nikon 35 TI, and Leica Minilux Zoom.
Upon release, the Contax T VS III cost $1550.
