Contax TVS Review - The Hidden Gem in the Contax T Series

In today’s episode, Greg and I review the Contax TVS - a beautiful champagne-colored point and shoot with auto-focus, aperture priority and a program mode released in 1994. The celebrity-endorsed Contax T2 and T3 are all the rage and their prices went through the roof in the last couple of years. Yet, the Contax TVS mostly remained under the radar. The T in the name stands for Titanium, the VS for Vario Sonnar, the Carl Zeiss zoom lens covering focal lengths from 28mm-56mm. We took the Contax TVS out around Würzburg for some “street shots” in line with German law and shot some architecture and impressions around the university campus. We exposed one roll of Kodak Portra 160 and one roll of Ilford Delta 100.
