Let’s get this weekend started! Contax T with Ilford Pan-F 50+ developed in beer. I hate the ergonomics of this camera but love the lens and size. Every time I shoot it I think about selling it until I see how sharp the Sonnar lens is. People are paying stupid amounts of money for these so now I’m very tempted.

I love the ergonomics and the size! 😂 I actually have 2, each of which has a slightly different problem ... my "newer" one has now developed a permanently stuck shutter, so I'm trying to find someone who will repair it. None of my normal go-tos will deal with it because of the electronics 😢 If anyone knows where I can just get these 2 T's CLA'd, let me know!

It feels awkward to me. Mine is not completely free of problems but they are very minor. The little button that pops to door open doesn't work, I think that's because the rubber skin that makes the button is hardened too much. Also the flash doesn't work reliably, if at all. Also the viewfinder window is scratched up a bit and the body shows a lot of use. I don't think I would get top dollar for it but it does work and takes great pictures.
