Developed by Yashica/Kyocera in collaboration with Porsche Design, it combines timeless styling with professional performance and exceptional build quality. Its electronically controlled quartz-timed shutter delivers highly accurate exposures, while the bright viewfinder and refined ergonomics made it a favourite among professional photographers.

These lenses are renowned worldwide for their exceptional sharpness, micro-contrast, and distinctive rendering. With its rugged metal construction, extensive manual controls, and professional finish, the Contax RTS II Quartz remains an outstanding choice for both serious film photographers and collectors seeking one of the finest SLRs of its era.
