The Contax RTS III is a professional 35mm SLR camera that represents the pinnacle of manual-focus film photography design. Introduced in 1990, this titanium-shuttered body features a groundbreaking Real Time Vacuum (RTV) ceramic pressure plate system that keeps film perfectly flat during exposure, ensuring exceptional image sharpness. With its fast 1/8000 second top shutter speed, 5 frames-per-second built-in motor drive, and comprehensive exposure controls including aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual modes, the RTS III delivers sophisticated metering with TTL flash capability and spot metering. The camera's rigid body and Contax/Yashica lens mount were engineered to unlock the full potential of Carl Zeiss T* optics, making it an ideal choice for discerning professionals and serious film enthusiasts who demand precision and reliability.
