How about Contax T3 camera?

CONTAX T3 is the best pocket camera in the film age. In fact, this sentence is enough. Designed by the famous German sports car and design company "Porsche", with the product concept of "small, light, easy to carry, compact and provide high-precision shooting", Contax T；; First introduced on 1984; Then Contac T2 (1990). These two cameras were very successful in the market, and the total sales volume exceeded 220,000, so Contax launched Contax T3 in February 2000. T3 uses the newly developed carl zeiss Sonnar T* 35/2.8 lens. As the most important lens manufacturer in the world, Zeiss has always focused on a product that will not be out of date for at least 10 years, especially the new T3 lens.

In terms of optical properties, T3' s carl zeiss Sonnar T* 35/2.8 is much better than T2 Sonnar T * 38/2.8. Sonnar T* 35/2.8 is excellent in contrast and ambient light reproduction, with almost no distortion at the edges, bright and noble color reproduction and soft details, which can be compared with any of the best 35mm lenses in the world. The overall dimension of T3 is 105 (width) x 63 (height) x 30.5 (depth) mm, which is smaller than that of Contac T2 and lighter by about 20%.

I heard that Contax T3 has a 5-point high-precision autofocus system, but I didn't understand it after using it. The strongest focusing distance is 0.35m, which is very useful. T3 can switch to the manual focusing system with preset focal length when AF system can't work normally, which is not bad, and it is also useful when taking snapshots.

Contax T3 is equipped with a so-called "double shutter between mirrors". The shutter speed can range from11200s to 180s, and the highest shutter speed is almost twice that of other pocket cameras. This is very important, especially when shooting with high-speed film and large aperture, because T3' s large aperture imaging is very good, so I should use it often. The slow door of T3 can be as long as 180s, and it is also convenient to shoot in the dark.

T3 has two exposure modes, aperture priority and program automatic. Of course, there is exposure compensation of +2~-2EV, which can be set according to 1/3EV, or the setting classification of exposure compensation can be changed from 1/3EV to 1/2EV through user selection function. However, it is not as convenient as T2. Who knows if CONTAX's designer designed it after drinking!

T3 is expensive, but it is not unreasonable. For Contax, T3 is not only a photographic tool, but also a product concept that emphasizes grip and durability. The shell is made of light, strong and corrosion-resistant titanium, and the viewfinder is made of high-hardness glass to prevent scratches and ensure that it remains bright after long-term use. The shutter key is made of polycrystalline sapphire. Awesome! The feeling of holding T3 is absolutely extraordinary.

I actually transferred from GR 1S to T3, so you can imagine that T3 has completely surpassed GR1s..

What is the best lens for pocket machine now? Just use T3. I don't have to say anything. T series insists on 35mm. I think it's thoughtful. If the brothers are not satisfied with this, there is no need to argue. Most young photographers will like lenses closer to 35mm or 50mm after 10. Of course, people who make super wide-angle styles are exceptions, but such people are actually rare.

You can look at similar knowledge on forums such as color shadow mowgli, and there are many.
