My first real SLR was a Contax RTS and I wore the paint off more than once to show the brass. That body is still working in Alaska thirty years later. Summer of 09 I worked on a movie and came in contact with a local (to me) and we became good friends. He mentioned a medium format camera in passing and said he would drop it off. Three months later he came back and dropped of a Contax 645 system with a 140, 80 and a 45 plus macro tubes, LightPhase 645 18mp? back and assorted cables. Now that my laptop has a PICMA to firewire card installed I can shoot outside. I am still in a bit of a daze but it is a whole lot of fun to shoot with. The only problem is that I am having a hard time putting the rest of my life on hold because I am obsessed with this new tool. Found a pdf of the Contax manual, my hands are starting to sort it out. Learning a new workflow with the Phase One RAW convertor is pretty cool too. My partner just called and told me to kiss the camera goodnight and come home to bed. Thanks for reading.
