Got around to running a roll of Rollei Retro 80S film through my Contax II with the 85mm f/2 Sonnar. Haven't found a good viewfinder for it so some of the compositions were skewed.. 🙁
Two shots taken with my F2.0 50mm uncoated Sonnar fitted to a restored Contax ll and demonstrate good exposure consistency across the middle speeds. I enjoyed taking this with me for a short visit to Oundle and Cromer at the weekend.
While the Contax ll is not a Leica M6 it is an infinitely better camera to use than the Leica 11 111 series. Before the Leicaphiles kick off, I fully recognise that the M3 changed the game completely and i have owned a Leica ll, two M2's, an R3 and now an M6 - the latter you would have to wrench from my hands.
Hi all. This is my first post in RFF. Thank you all for sharing such invaluable info, it has been very useful.
Here is my little contribution to this Thread.
Contax III with 1939 Sonnar 5cm/1.5 T coated
Thanks. The three photos were taken this summer in Camogli, Italy. It is located close to Portofino and to Genova. I expected the special light and colors there, so I took along the Sonnar.
I just picked up a contax I with broken shutter for cheap, that has a 1934 Jena Sonnar 50 1.5 on it. I can't wait to put it on my M2 with the Amedeo adaptor. I love uncoated lenses. Curious how it will perform against my Cron Rigid and Collapsible Cron. Maybe I will do a real world comparison test.
