Contax cameras were the result of the technologies of three companies.Zeiss's optical excellence joined with Kyocera expertise in manufacture and ceramics technology. The third element in the triangle was Porche, who designed the original concept of the camera's interface. The result the RTS camera. A real time system, with world class optics.
Photographers are realising the potential of these T* Zeiss optics on today's digital cameras.

- Contax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The history of Contax, its all here, there,s no point in reinventing the wheel However I would question the statement over Zeiss lenses, That the difference between AE and MM was the extra programs functions delivered. It has been muttered that there was a change in the T* coating, giving the AE a slight colour profile than the MM lenses.

- 1975 was the introduction of Contax's. Premium professional camera. The RTS (Real time system)
Aperture priority and Manual camera with a mechanical backup of 60th sec.The RTS system was designed to minimise the latency between pressing the release and the shutter releasing. The follow-up to this camera was the RTS2 which added a metal shutter, and TTL flash. The last incarnation of this camera was the RTS3.

Yashica Cameras
Yashica SLR cameras are really pretty much past their usefulness with one exception the FXD which was Yashicas version of the Contax 139. Great camera, wonderful build. But no DOF preview. However The Yashica 124G twin lens reflex and Yashica rangefinders are a different matter.
What we are really interested in is the optics for the SLR's, Built extremely well, and very good, The one thing that people comment on is the colour, It is this that attracts me to yashica and more specifically Contax. Zeiss magic in the form of their coatings has im sure trickled down to the Yashica cameras.
