Why You Should Buy The Contax TVS

Contax TVS 1 is one of the best options if you want to buy an afforadable film camera. Its price is steady while its counterparts are all becoming very expensive!

Thanks for the tip about holding flash button for ten seconds! Now I don’t have to turn off flash every time camera is turned on like with Olympus and other cameras!

Bought it in 2019 at $350 in Japan but the shutter cable broke which is common with this model and the Nipon Camera Repair shop in NYC charges $300 for the piece and $200-$300 for labor... The cost of this is justified because of how likely is the internal cable to break, so I wouldn't think it would go up in price anytime soon.

Cotax T2 and T3 are also prone to borken shutter cable, and Minolta TC1 too, many Japanese point-and-shoots have this problem

Interesting, when I bought a T2 new, I looked at the TVS and decided it was too expensive!. How things have changed. I have both now, I have never really got on with the TVS. I don't think that it handles as well as the T2 in terms of the controls, and the lens is slow, and I seem to recall vignettes quite a bit. The flash mode system is a mess as well, the T2 is simpler to operate. I have not used the later revisions.

Are those three screws on the bottom of the camera original? They look rusty.

[@cameractive9316]

Yes, they are, but they are indeed rusty. It was not preserved properly.
