I am looking for information and guidance on this site regarding the mirror problem with Contax cameras. I have owned 2 Contax cameras(bought used)for 5-6 years. I have not experienced the above problem, and was thinking of looking for another Contax. However, in the last 2 weeks I have seen information about it, and it can go back to the earlier Contax models in the 13- series. It is now putting me off buying another one.
I have seen a posting here by trooper, re his 137MD, in January, 2011, and it appears to be the same type of fault.
I live in the UK, but a person in the US was quoted, I think, $200 for the repair, and he had 2-3 models where the mirrors had slipped.
Am I being to wary about buying another ? I did have the RX, or the ST in mind.
Any useful information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Fred.
