Price Paid:
$900.00 Summary: Like other Contax cameras very solid construction, feels very good in the hand. Straight forward operation, controls are very easy to understand and operate. LED read out in viewfinder easy to see in bright light and the large ceramic pressure is such an outstanding concept and feature it is suprising it has not caught on more in the industry (must be a patent thing).
The feel is very much like the RTS III, but on a slightly smaller and lighter scale. The specs on paper may not seem impressive as compared to some of todays wonder cameras (the ST is an early 1990''s design), but it is a wonderful camera that requires little instruction to use and takes those GREAT Zeiss lenses.
If I had to live with just ONE Contax camera - this would be it. Strengths: Quality construction and feel
Spot metering
Lighted top panel
Zeiss Lenses !!! Weaknesses: None I can think of, yeah the film leader group does have a point, but it is minor overall.
Also, Contax no longer produces this model, but they can still be found on the back shelf at some stores. Similar Products Used: Contax RTS III
Contax Aria
Canon F1, T90, EF Customer Service: I have called customer service before and they have always been very helpful.
