Description from the seller

Contax T
Slight signs of use but rare to find in this condition.
The seals have been replaced, the viewfinder and the lens are free of dust, fungus, or haze.
Fully functional (frame counter, light meter, rangefinder, exposure-compensating self-timer, ISO selection—everything is OK). Tested with film.
The Contax T is a compact rangefinder camera that embodies the perfect blend of optical quality and portability. Designed for demanding photographers seeking a pocket-sized camera without compromise, it appeals with its Carl Zeiss Sonnar 38mm f/2.8 lens, guaranteeing exceptional image quality in all conditions. Its elegant and robust design, made of titanium, makes it a reliable companion for analog photography enthusiasts.
Launched in 1984, the Contax T marks a key milestone in the history of premium compact cameras. At a time when automatic cameras flooded the market, it stood out with manual focus via rangefinder, offering precise control over composition and an authentic rendering worthy of the great classics of photography. This model is particularly favored by street photographers and travelers seeking a discreet and capable camera.
Thanks to its ultra-compact format and film advancement by knob, the Contax T provides a unique tactile experience. Its bright viewfinder and smooth shutter release enable fluid, immersive shooting, ideal for capturing the moment with spontaneity. It excels in street photography, portraiture, and landscapes, where its Zeiss lens renders sharp images with beautiful bokeh.
