Full Version: Two new toys arrived today!
A brand new D3 and a used but in very good condition Contax 645... I have a lot of reading to do!!!
wow I'm jealous
I'm jealous too. I just wish I had that kind of money to spend. Brides where are you? I need to book about 10 more weddings so I can buy something.
You are going to LOVE that Contax! I have a Mamiya 645AFD that I'm using more and more there is just something about film!
BTW, I love that "kid in a candy shop" look in your eyes on that first one!

You're going to love both of those camera. My D3 is amazing and I was also looking at getting a Contax 645 previously, but decided to wait.
What would be a 35mm format equivalent of that 80mm f/2.0? A fast 50mm? That Contax looks sweet.

No Johnny, I looked at KEH because Jose Villa told me too but couldn't find one.
I found this one on eBay and talked to the seller on the phone... he sold it very well and the camera was in better condition than I thought.
Jose also recommended me to search on Craigslist in ALL areas and I found a few good ones there too, that's a good option.
