Hello,

I bought this fantastic camera recently, along with several others, and now I have to move on the ones I didn't connect with. I enjoyed the solid feel of this very much, but I decided for right now I want something a little smaller and less automated. I did lots of research before choosing it... I'll put some informational links below, along with a link to the original ebay listing.

It's in nice shape other than the cosmetic dent to the battery compartment. See photos. These seem to be going for $170-200, including shipping, in average used condition. I'd like to get $145 $130 for it, which includes insured shipping to the US. I would prefer not to sell it internationally, sorry. Paypal preferred.

This is film tested (by me) and working great. It came with a non-original matt screen with no focusing aid in the center. There are minor scuffs on the screen from installing it, but I don't find them distracting when shooting.

Here's the ebay listing from back in May, see also the great product reviews with it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/EXCELLENT-Contax-RX-35mm-SLR-Film-Camera-Body-Only-From-Japan-37/223979875732

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers,
Andrew

I do have an RTSII I could part with. Unfortunately I leave in Holland.
 
Some of us in the US might be wishing we were elsewhere...

But yes, the postage would make it more complicated.
 
Weekend bump. I have a Yashica ML 50mm f/1.9 that I could add for $20 more. It's quite a nice little lens. I bought it as a placeholder until I could afford a C/Y Zeiss lens, but it's no slouch and about 85% cheaper!
 
Bump... Lower price...

I have some other good stuff I need to clear out, too, coming at good prices. I just need to find the time!
