I got a deal on this recently and it's fun to shoot, but it's not going to be my style, I think.
This camera is in good shape. The shutter works great and seems accurate at all speeds. Self-timer functions, viewfinder has some specks but is very bright. Advancing the film feels smooth and well-lubricated.
The meter is off by several stops but functions well when the film speed is compensated appropriately. The window for the meter needle in the viewfinder is very bright and clear.
The lens has clearly been cleaned by an amateur but does not have any deep scratches, and the view through it is sharp. There are no "Contax bumps" in the leatherette, though there are two different places where someone stuck or taped something to the back leatherette--I removed an adhesive plastic film reminder holder when I bought it. Flash sync untested.
Includes bottom half of leather case.
$90 OBO
