that s2 does look awesome, i was never interested in the rts series because they had a bunch of features i actively didn't want. the other good thing about the aria versus either of those is that it was super cheap like the fx-3.

Well, now I am curious What RTS features did you actively not want?

Maybe sebboh didn't actively want to pay for them. The RTS models were always expensive in their time. Myself, I find them overly heavy, and prefer to use the compact bodies (S2, 159, Aria). Especially the Aria: love that one.

well, "pro" build with the size that comes with it comes to mind first. the aria, which i hear was the compact contax marketed for women is already a bit bigger than i'd like. i guess i was mostly thinking of the rts III with the vacuum back and other features that could break easily rather than the earlier rts models. contax cameras don't have a reputation for reliability in electronics and complex parts, so the simpler the better from my perspective. also, maybe i'm confusing this with the RX, but i thought the rts III had a darker viewfinder and maybe a half silvered mirror for focus confirmation?

yeah, the fact that i could get an aria for a lot less was definitely a factor too.
any 6x6 projector users, and recommendations? what does it look like when you use it, assuming, like me, you havent seen a projector since the early 1980's grade school!? I have almost worked everything out, however, i am looking for good quality items, scanners, projectors, film, without going over budget, ugh, to late! thanks all, and good photography!

can you go away please?
it was fine when you were just triple posting and necroing threads left and right instead of just making one new one to ask questions but to accuse Thrice of anything of the sort is ridiculous and petty. this thread is about posting film shots, not taking shots.
by extension, here is a shitty photograph I took on film:
