Wonderful Camera
I recently received this camera and it is in excellent condition, some brassing on the on the battery cover but the rest of the camera is nearly faultless. All controls work as they should as well as the electronics. I've been wanting to get back into film photography for quite awhile and I had to do a lot of research on 35 mm film cameras and to get this particular one at such a reasonable price makes me absolutely thrilled with this purchase.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Contax RX? Simply Superb - I want you to show me what love is ...
This is the most qualitative film slr camera ever. A wonderful piece of machinery and with its Japano-German origin an all time absolute perfection is within reach. A superb camera where there is easier to tell only the minor disadvantages - and this is partly its size and that was it, there is nothing more to mention. The size and weight itself are even not too much it is simple the only thing I am missing to have my own dream camera (The RX is significantly smaller than the Nikon F4, the Contax AX and partly even than the Leica R9). The Contax RX is not meant to be the highest level of a professional film camera on purpose, so it does not have some features such cameras have, but that is not a disadvantage because it is not meant to have it. If I would dream of a film camera, which should be the single best possible one, than I would have a smaller and lighter RX but the very same as the RX and additionally with some of the features of other professional cameras like the exchangeable prism-viewfinder of Nikon F3 especially its enormous sport-viewfinder and I would like also matrix metering like the Nikon FA, Nikon F4 or Contax Aria and this very special colour-matrix metering as by Nikon F4 meant for colour slide film. This would be the very best camera for me and I would not miss autofocus at all. But because this dream camera does not exist, so the other best one is the Contax RX this way as it is.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Awesome
It is in an excellent condition. Also notice that Contax cameras have something called "mirror slip" problem, which could be fixed by an hair dryer.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The camera has problems with shutter blades
When I shoot A mode, some of the pictures have half dark at high speed (1/1000s). This happens to 5-7 frames out of 24 shots. Now I can not use this camera.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Contax RX
Excellent camera with focus assist: this is very helpful especially in dim condition. All buttons and controls are at the most ergonomic positions. The available functions are more than adequate for most photographic situations. If I have to pick something to comment on, I would say it is considered heavy for its size and the use of not so common battery size.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
