{"product_id":"usecontblk-u8","title":"Used Contax T | Black | U8","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Contax T is a premium compact 35mm rangefinder film camera introduced in 1984, widely regarded as one of the first luxury point-and-shoot cameras and notable for pairing a genuine Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 38mm f\/2.8 lens with a manually focused coincident rangefinder system. Its titanium-clad body, styled by Porsche Design, uses a distinctive hinged clamshell cover to protect and extend the retracting lens, powering the camera on when opened. Aperture-priority automatic exposure via SPD metering, combined with a quartz-controlled electronic shutter spanning 8 seconds to 1\/500 sec, delivers reliable exposure control in a genuinely compact body. As the first entry in Contax's celebrated T-series lineup, this model established the template for premium compact cameras that followed, prized today for its exceptional Zeiss optics, refined construction, and pocketable form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Contax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42662305038382,"sku":"USECONTBLK-U8","price":899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2657\/1868\/files\/1d91a496-fd8d-42a5-ad16-c3c82bb16465.jpg?v=1788383943","url":"https:\/\/kmcamera.com\/products\/usecontblk-u8","provider":"K\u0026M Camera","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
