For years now I've had a Zeiss C/Y 28/2.8 lens that I once in a while throw onto my Sony. I'd take a couple of shot and put it away. Well, I was doing some reading and came upon a discussion of the Contax RTS. A light bulb came on (actually, it was a DOH), that I could pair up this camera with my lens. Found a good deal on a good Contax RTS II and it arrived today. Clean and in great shape. I threw in a battery and a roll of Portra 400. Meter seems spot on. I love that this camera has a shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. Helps with shallow DOF. I think I like this camera!
I'm finally getting my C-41 process down as well as my conversion with NLP. It's the little things . . . Amazing you found one that works! I had an RTS and then an RTS II, in both the electronics died.
Yeah that's the risk with these pure electronic cameras of yesteryear. Only one roll of film but so far without issue. And I love Zeiss glass.
