The optics on this camera are truly sensational, particularly that 50 and
the 135.  I've been  thrilled with the performance of my restored IIIa
(though the meter is about as dependable as a city bus schedule).

How did you get the interior shot without flash at ISO 100?

Best,

Who really should get out his iiia again soon.

After some much appreciated help from Brian, I was finally able to get
back
into my LUG Gallery and add some pictures.  These are from my recently
restored Contax IIIa with 1.5/50mm and 4/135mm Sonnars and the first two
Fuji 100 test rolls.

The three flower images demonstrate the effect of the 50, 30 and 20 Proxar
lenses on the 50mm Sonnar and the postwar Zeiss Ikon Contameter close-up
RF.

I will add more to this album as I explore the capability of this RF
camera.
Not as convenient to use as the Leica M6, but lots of fun.
