Review Contax RTS III

i just bought a new RTS lll and gave away my old
167mt!

is it OK that the metering system dos a high
frequenz "wistle" sound?

i hope everything is ok! i hate this!
 
Dear Mr. Albino,

the sound is absolutly correct. If you go to a higher light (and a shorter shutter speed in AV),
the blue light will get lihgter and the sound is getting higher.

With regards, Clemens Stenner
 
Just for your information: A Contax technician told me this sound comes from the dc-dc converter inside the camera.

Regards

Uli
 
I don't know about some problems. I have a RTSIII since january 1990 (S# around 009500)- no prblems yet.
 
has anyone tried to use his hasselblad lenses on a contax rts III. i really love the quality of the hasselblad images, but sometimes need a fast motordrive on the camera to shoot sequences. does it work to mount the 30mm lens for the hasselblad on the contax. ? how does the picture look like ?? i´m glad about any help and info i can get.
thanks

Take a 24x36 mm slide mount and place it over a Hasselblad 6x6 slide/negative. What you see is what you get ... ;-))

Im looking for new or used camera RTSIII. I use RTS I (wich works only in A mode) and 167 mt. Im absolutely fun about contax + optics. I need som advices about RTS III. how it suits for ekstreme conditions - wet, hot, snow, cold. is it any problems with electronics, how is with repair - service, which are the camera "bugs". thanks
 
I've only had my RTS3 a year or so , but no problems with heat etc [ I live in Africa] . Some people have mentioned difficulty with reading the display in the viewfinder in bright conditions , but I have to say I dont have any problems with this , and the sun here is BRIGHT!! Steve
