I'm just about to pull the trigger on a Contax T3 and have been doing loads of research. None of it is really recent, but I came across your blog post. So, what are your initial impressions of the T3? I'd like to use it as a small, quick alternative to my Leica M6 and Zeiss Biogon 35/f2 lens. From what I can discern, It should do pretty well. Take care. Feel free to email me privately...I'm not sure when I'll find your blog again. ----Dave. Hi Ben.
