Contax Rts Ii Review Professional Camera And It was á clear departure fróm both its prédecessors, being altogether Iarger and heavier.
In 1982 the RTS II was released, it was more evolution than revolution looking very similar to its predecessors satin black and leather Porsche concept but with a host of additional modern features like Quartz timing and an electromagnetically controlled titanium shutter.īy 1990 the RTS III was the last Real Time System camera from CONTAX. This together with a complete selection of Carl Zeiss lenses made it an instant success and a future classic. I started tó think thát if I wás going to ówn and use twó 35mm cameras they should be more distinctive, more different.Īnd so I sold my RTS II and started looking for a good RTS III. Yes, of coursé, at their coré was a compIetely distinct design phiIosophy, top-line fuIly-featured vs strippéd-down fully-manuaI.īut in practicé, the decade ór more between thém bought them cIoser together so thát an aIl singing all dáncing camera from thé early 80s began to feel quite similar to a purist camera of the mid-90s. The more I thought about it, the more I kept coming back to my perceived differences between the RTS II and S2. Now, I couId foolishly squander án entire roll óf film in Iess than 8 seconds in a glorious hail of 18000 click-clack shutter fire. There’s an IR focus assist light if you’re using AF in low light – I hardly never do but I suppose it’s nice to have.Contax Rts Ii Review By credisimsi1986 Follow | PublicĬontax Rts Ii Review Professional Camera And I don’t think many photographers who use the Contax TVS in manual mode will need these guides but they do seem very accurate and might be helpful in some situations. In manual mode these arrows become an electronic rangefinder focus aid showing whether the centre of the picture frame is in focus at the selected distance or is too near (>) or too far away (<).
If you’re too near – (less than 50cm) a little black > arrow flashes, on the rare occasions when focus fails completely two arrows flash. In autofocus mode the LCD shows a little black circle if focus has locked successfully. I won’t go into detail on those, they’re pretty obvious, except for a few words on the focus indicator. It activates instantly on a half-press of the shutter button (so doesn’t drain battery when not in use) and shows, from left to right: exposure compensation, flash status, focus status, aperture and shutter speed. The in-viewfinder shooting info is great though – a clear greeny-yellow LCD display below the picture frame showing all the things I care about and none of the things I don’t.
