Contax TVS II 35mm point & shoot film camera with 28-56mm zoom lens
Description:
The Contax TVS II is one of the best compact film cameras you can buy at this price point. It sits just below the famous Contax T2 in terms of cost, but delivers image quality that is remarkably close, thanks to its Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens. The zoom range is a real asset here: 28mm gives you wide, environmental shots, great for travel, street photography or capturing a whole room, while 56mm lets you get closer to your subject without moving. The titanium body feels solid and well made, and the camera fits comfortably in a coat pocket. It shoots fully automatic so you can just point and press, but it also gives you aperture priority mode and manual focus if you want more control. A great choice whether you are just starting out with film or looking for a compact camera to carry every day.
