Very rare model of the famous Contax RTS camera. Additional info at the bottom. Rare is the key word :)

Please note that the camera can be used as a normal film camera.

In a good working condition - makes it even more special. Meter accurate, all speeds sound ok.

Comes with Yashica 50 mm “normal” lens in a very good condition - you can use it right away. The body accepts a wide range of Contax (Carl Zeiss) and Yashica lenses - so called C/Y mount.

I have just reskinned it with a high quality material.

Small dings (see picture) present - otherwise very good cosmetics.

US shipping only - international buyer - please check with me before bidding, please!

Information about the model:

Before being replaced by the RTS II, an interesting variant of the RTS was produced in small quantities: the Contax RTS Fundus (also called Scientific/Medical). This was essentially an RTS with two additional features. Firstly, below the shutter speed dial on the front of the top-plate, a locking button was added that prevented the dial from being accidentally knocked from its X-sync (1/60) and Auto settings. The second change was even more useful: the celebrated electronic shutter release of the RTS was incredibly sensitive with a depression of less than 1mm to activate the shutter but in a laboratory, for example, where you may be wearing gloves, accidental firing of a standard RTS was a problem. Contax solved this by modifying the top plate further and adding a 2mm guard ring around the shutter release button. Most - but not all - of the RTS Fundus cameras had 'Scientific/Medical' stencilled in white on the base plate. A very small number of these bodies also featured additional mirror-damping.
