Having a self-timer is also great for taking pictures that you'd like to be in as well! Reliability Enough said.Īnother option I employ when taking slow shutter speeds on a tripod is to use a self-timer. The Contax 645's mirror-up option is conveniently accessible and just works. But, to retain that extra stability, I like to frame my shot, focus, and get that mirror up so it doesn't create any shake. When I need lots of light, I go to a slow-shutter speed and mount the Contax 645 on a tripod. I love being able to have the mirror-up function on a camera. However, there are a few that I make use of, and those I will speak on. That's because I probably don't need or use them. I know there's a lot of features that I'm not going to delve into here. It may sound like a silly thing to derive pleasure from, but it just sounds and feels nice.
One thing I love about using the Contax 645 is the sound of the shutter.
Its weight is similar to other options you'll find in the medium format camera world, so that's pretty average. To learn a little more about those, check out the comparison I did with the Maxwell Screen on a Pentax 67. And, for those that may need a little extra clarity, there's the Maxwell Precision Optics Screens that you can have installed. I've had really good success with manually focusing the Contax 645.
CONTAX 645 MANUAL MANUAL
I don't find it to be quite as clear as my Pentax 645s or quite as clear as the Hasselblad H2.īut, that doesn't make it unusable for manual focusing. It's not incredibly bright and clear, but it's not too bad either. The Contax 645's viewfinder is "alright". Now, here is where manual focusing can come in very handy, which leads us to our next topic.
