After licensing the Contax name in the early 1970s, Yashica worked together with Porsche designers to create a professional 35mm SLR to improve brand recognition and put them on the map. Thus, in 1975, the Contax RTS was born. 

A camera with electronically-controlled shutter with speeds from 1s all the way up to 1/2000s, interchangeable focusing screens and a range of professional accessories. Not to mention it's ability to support a wide range of the C/Y mount optics, most notably the beautiful lenses made by Carl Zeiss.

The perfect camera setup for those wanting to step it up from those entry-level SLR cameras without breaking the bank. Amazing glass on a solid platform.

This Contax RTS comes with some signs of previous use, most noticeably on the cameras covering. Luckily it's not sticky as a lot of them are. The Auto Exposure function of the camera works as expected and well within spec. When manually selecting speeds, the speeds tend to be a fraction off but with the latitude of current negative film, this won't have a huge impact on the results. Some slight desilvering is present in the prism. 

Lens in good condition optically but quite some wear on the lens barrel making a few of the printed aperture and focusing numbers harder to see.

Also comes with original Contax eyecup for RTS
