Contax T Black Camera

Introduced in 1984, the Contax T is a high quality, exceptionally compact 35mm rangefinder camera manufactured in Japan by Kyocera. The camera is manually focused utilizing a coincident rangefinder. The lens, a superb unit-focusing Carl Zeiss Sonnar 38 mm f/2.8 (5 elements in 4 groups) focusing to one metre, retracts into the camera body, where it is covered by the hinged lens cover. This same cover, which superficially resembles the bed of a folding camera, is also used to extend the lens from the body - in a similar way to the Minox 35. The lens has a manual diaphragm that stops down to f/16 with 7 blades. The electronic between-the-lens shutter is automatically set by the camera's aperture priority exposure system, with speeds from 8 seconds to 1/500th. With all papers, presentation box, shipping box
