| aristobal's Full Review: Contax T3 35mm Film Camera |
I wanted a compact 35mm camera as second body, for b&w shooting.
A sharp optical was my first need. There are several cheaper cameras with good lenses, like the olympus mju...
But I looked also for something with at least some manual features. This Contax has an aperture priority mode (good !) but no speed priority (bad !). A manual focus setting is also available.
Fast AF was important too. Contax offers a "strange" AF, but once you are used to it, it is very fast and accurate. Exposition is very good too.
But remember, the most important is optical quality and no other P&S camera can beat this one !
