The T cameras (with the exception of the T4/T5) were a series of premium compacts featuring some manual controls, all-metal construction, and Carl Zeiss T* lenses (including the T4, and subsequent Yashica cameras). Contax is a Japanese brand, later bought over by Kyocera-Yashica, and now defunct (the owners of the brand no longer have any facility for the production of cameras). With that out of the way, letвЂ™s talk about the camera up on the block today: the Contax T3. The same goes for film: a web scan isnвЂ™t going to have anywhere near the same amount of information as the original negative even printing introduces an additional variable into the mix which might lead a review to conclude erroneously.

When evaluating images in the analog domain, itвЂ™s already difficult enough to form an opinion based on a small websize jpeg this is why itвЂ™s important to go along with the words of the reviewer as theyвЂ™ve (hopefully) seen large, uncompressed files on a calibrated monitor вЂ“ what youвЂ™re seeing is merely for illustration and perhaps to break up the enormous blocks of text. Differences are down to glass, assuming that processing is carried out consistently.

Still, there are definitely characteristics that shine through regardless вЂ“ part of this is perhaps down to the equality of media across all cameras вЂ“ an F6 has the same sensor as a Mju II, which in turn has the same sensor as a 1930s Leica I. Reviewing film cameras both takes a little longer and always somehow feels a little less complete than doing the same for digital I suspect itвЂ™s because there really are quite a lot of unknowns in the equation which you canвЂ™t determine whether are due to the camera or some other portion of the process.
