One of my clients in Santa Fe owns a Contax 645 that she hasn't used in
YEARS. It has inches of dust coating it from not being touched for so long.
I thought it looked like a cool camera, but for the price you can get a
Hasselblad that has real made-in-Germany Zeiss lenses and the Hasselblad is
reliable! I never knew the Contax was so unreliable, I'm glad now that I
never got one.
