Contax - different versions/releases?
« on: September 16, 2008, 09:37:28 pm »

I'm seriously thinking of purchasing a Contax 645 and want to know if there are different iterations of the camera, and if so, how to tell what is the latest version.  Would use it with a Leaf or Phase back.

Thanks

yeah! got my camera in the mail, but I've only shot 12 frames.
need to finish the roll.  I'm 100% in need of the waist level finder.
get that and the camera is awesome.
without it, it sort of feels like a huge SLR camera.

You may want to check out my post for used equipment.  Everything remaining is in great shape. I loved the camera, but not the Kodak back.  Decided to switch to the Hasselblad system for its integrated operation.
