Quite often my photos turn out very soft, even though I now always shoot at least f2.8. I bought the lens from a camera store and the first few rolls had back focus problems. After servicing, it seems to be better, but I still feel that the lens isn't very sharp and that the focus is often slightly in front of the subject. What do you think?

Off camera TTL with Contax 645 + TLA 360. Is it possible?

Hi. I can't seem to find a solid answer on this and was hoping someone has some insight.

I recently purchased a TLA 100S cable hoping it would pair my Contax 645 with my TLA360 flash. It is able to fire the flash but it does not communicate settings with the camera.

I found the manual and it says "The flash system is not automatically set when used off the accessory shoe through the TLA extension cord or TLA lighting system" which I interpreted as meaning it does not have an off camera TTL capability.

Has anyone found a solution to getting TTL off camera?

Looking To Sell My Non-Green Label 20th Anniversary Contax G1 Kit 3 Lenses w/TLA 140 Flash

This version of the kit comes in a wooden box. One shop quoted me $1250 and was upfront that they would look to resell it between $1850-$1950. Gave the advice that I would make more than their quote if I sold it myself.

One spot in Brooklyn was selling the G1 body and 45mm alone for $1950. Mine is in excellent condition, minus a slight LCD bleed that you have to angle/tilt the body to see... It's not glaring and hasn't progressed since I got the kit in 2018.

I know I will be lowballed so the reseller can make a decent profit. The numbers so far on different sites seem all over the place.

Does anyone have some good advice?

Need help identifying what lenses/things are these.

Hello everyone, I don't have a single clue about cameras and stuff. I was wondering if I could get help here with these. Thanks!

I know a simple image search can do wonders but I wanna leave it up to people who know. Thanks!

Contax 1 in somewhat decent shape but needs CLA. Who still repairs those?

Hi there,

I’ve been sitting on a contax 1 for years, and my local repair guy is nearing retirement, so no longer taking cameras in. Any clue who still CLAs the Contax 1? Mine is in good condition - all things considered. Shutter working, albeit light leaks. Rf quite dim but still works.

If I don’t do it now, will stay on a shelf forever.

Thanks!
