As such, some may be interested that Contax is releasing a new TVSIII. 20% smaller than the TVSII, they say, with a new 30mm-60mm Zeiss lens. And it appears to have a fold-down cover like a Minox. Compared to the Minilux Zoom, the TVSIII, per its specs, has aperture preferred automation (as oppossed to strictly program) as an option and shows the shutter speed in the viewfinder.
