bought a Contax rts iii last week off of ebay. I've been highly coveting one for a while, since I've discovered its the only Contax SLR with a MLU function.
Its a beauty! My only problem is that I currently suffer from ringing in one of my ears and the camera, when turned on, emits a high pitch to low grunting sound, a whistling or buzzing depending on how bright the subject I am metering. Its faint- but it enough of a distraction. I've researched already the best I can that this is normal, common?- with all RTS iii bodies. Its apparently has something to do with a frequency of the dc dc converter inside?
To me its funny- that this is the dream camera to use for contax SLR users (I've shot with an Aria, T3, 645 and G2 system for years) and theres this hi pitch sound you have to put up with when making pictures...or is this not the case with all RTS iii users? Can this be fixed? Hope so
Thanks
