A truly fine lens
I bought this lens for my Contax G2 (also purchased on eBay) because I wanted a fast, "normal" lens to go with my Zeiss 28mm f2.8. Tried it for the first time in early Dec. on a trip to NYC and the results were very good: the pictures were very sharp with good contrast and sufficient bokah (sp?) when called for. So far, an excellent purchase decision.

Contax T3 is the "killer app" of small film cameras
Wonderful little camera that operates pretty much like its larger sibling, the Contax G2, which I own and love. Ran a test roll through using T-max 3200 exposed at 1600 and the results were perfect. Zeiss lens is incredibly sharp and autofocus is fast and quiet. The only thing I wish the camera had: the ability to lock focus and exposure separately--focus can be locked by itself but not exposure. Size and weight are perfect for what I need. Viewfinder is bright, well-organized and easy to use. Nice to have an -onboard flash for those times when you absolutely have to have artificial light. This is the 2 teeth model of the T3 so I'm assuming that the "dental problems" the 1 tooth version had will not show up here. I thought about getting the less expensive T2, but from what I read the T3 is faster, smaller and lighter. Very glad I made this purchase.
