CLASSIC Contax T rangefinder camera with Carl Zeiss Sonnar 38mm f2.8 lens, black

CLASSIC Contax T rangefinder camera w/ Carl Zeiss Sonnar 38mm f2.8 lens, black. Announced in 1984, the Contax T which kickstarted the entire T-series, was a masterpiece of miniaturisation, design and optical performance. Measuring less than 10cm in length and weighing approx.

270g, this highly pocketable camera defied all expectations. In a nutshell, it's a re-envisioning of the Minox cameras, as small as a 35mm camera can be, but with the addition of rangefinder focusing down to 1m, and made from titanium rather than plastic. No expense was spared: even the red shutter release button was constructed out of a piece of synthetic ruby.

Optics are pure Zeiss, with that signature crystalline detail and three-dimensional pop. As you can see from the photographs taken earlier, the camera continues to be in excellent condition, exhibiting slight signs of use. Cosmetically, it's hard to fault and there are no significant dings, dents or scratches. As you can see the camera continues to look very handsome indeed. Optics are mint and free from scratches, dirt, dust, or fungus.

Mechanically, everything continues to be tight, decisive, and work just as it should. The camera comes with its original matching flash and hand strap. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. _gsrx_vers_856 GS 7.0.20 (856).
