Description

The Contax RTS III is the flagship 35mm SLR developed through the renowned collaboration between Kyocera, Carl Zeiss, and Porsche Design. Introduced in 1990, it represents the pinnacle of the Contax/Yashica manual-focus system, combining professional-grade construction with sophisticated electronic controls and exceptional engineering.

One of its most innovative features is the Real Time Vacuum (RTV) Film Back, which uses a vacuum system to hold the film perfectly flat against the film plane during exposure. This unique technology minimizes film curvature, helping to achieve maximum sharpness and making full use of the extraordinary resolving power of Carl Zeiss lenses.

The RTS III offers a comprehensive range of exposure modes—including Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual—along with a fast 1/8000-second maximum shutter speed, 1/250-second flash synchronization, and a built-in motor drive capable of shooting up to 5 frames per second. Its bright 100% coverage viewfinder and advanced metering system make it equally suitable for studio, landscape, portrait, and action photography.

Compatible with the legendary Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount and the acclaimed lineup of Carl Zeiss T* lenses, the RTS III delivers an outstanding manual-focus shooting experience with world-class optical performance. Revered by collectors and serious film photographers alike, it remains one of the finest and most technologically advanced 35mm SLR cameras ever produced.
