Contax T3 with Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 2.8/35
I've owned several of these little beauties and the CONTAX T3 still has a place in my heart, even in this digital world we now live in. Unfortunately, with the exception of the Ricoh GR-Digital, no manufacturer has even tried stepping up to the plate to deliver a digital camera capable of dethroning the "King" of the posh point & shoot camera from the CONTAX T3. The Carl Zeiss T* Coated Sonnar 2.8/35 is one of the sharpest lenses I've ever shot with. Perhaps even too sharp! Does Zeiss make a Softar in 30.5mm thread filters? I'd say it rivals the Planar 2.0/45 on the G series in resolution, color, contrast, and delineation. Did I mention that the T3 can accept the widest range of accesories of any compact camera ever produced? That's what makes the T3 part of the entire Contax system. With the filter adapter you can affix a metal hood for unparalleled flare reduction (just like the old Rollei 35) and of course the whole universe of filters available in th 30.5mm thread. B+W, Heliopan, Hoya, and Contax all make several filters in this size and this greatly enhances one's capabilities in the field and expressionistically. Using the SA-2 TLA flash adapter you can use the TLA 200 TTL Flash for greater flash output and range. But, of course, you could use any TLA flash like the TLA 360 and even an off-camera shoe cord for greater flexibility, distance, and creative effects. Another great feature of the SA-2 flash adapter is that it allows you to use an electronic cable release for absolute vibration reduction and stealthier shutter release. There is also a fitted ever-ready case (CC-82) which will allow the user to protect the camera while retaining the immediate use of the hood, filters, and metal lens cap (K-34). This little sytem camera resided in many a Magnum photographer's case because it was a great back-up camera that could go anywhere. Somtimes it was their primary camera because of its size. The only 35mm camera that was smaller was the Minolta TC-1, but it was more of a copy-cat to the Contax T series design philosophy and wasn't half the camera the T3 is either. The titanium shell is also an asset in the field for its rigidity, light weight, and heat resistance. And finally the user had the choice of the lustrous Titanium finish or the stealthier Titanium Black finish. With so many options plus tiny size and optics that would make some SLR users weep, this is still a great camera for any digital or film to stand up to.
