Oh man I really want one of this... I have a Minox 35 which is quite similar design and I love it, the folding mechanism is so elegant. Despite the size, it still produce outstanding images with fully manual control of focus and apeture. The down side is that Minox is a zone focus not a viewfinder. The Contax T is just a perfect version of that!
I have a chrome one and a mint black one, and I always enjoy using them, although it’s rare these days with the convenience of digital, but they’re beautifully made and the lens is stunning. From memory they were designed in conjunction with Porsche , and they decided that using a man made ruby as the shutter release was a good idea, although I can never see what the benefit of that is. Great photos
Eduardo, since you are shooting all this vintage cameras on film, your videos are timeless, I enjoy watching them all the time. I had a chance to buy original Contax T, but I didn't... photos look really neat 👍
Ok this is a first....I couldn't wait to finish, before commenting. I'm 4.50 in and have to say two strong points......Wow, you're street photography is ballsy af! I wish I had the confidence to do this, but I'm awkward. Seeing the speed that you had to react, in order to capture some of those shots, actually leaves me speechless when I saw the results! I'm not sure whether to applaud you, or the camera! 😂 For the framing, you.....for some of that tact sharp beauty.....well, gotta be the camera and totally unexpected! Impressive! Now I'll continue....😁
The Contax T came into light in 1984. Your friends sample already does look something beaten up, from the edges. It's design is a bit based (front door) from the Minox 35 GL (79) which was the 1st of these kind of design series (front door, pull out lens design), albeit bei the german brand Minox, and no lomo LC-A, seriously. Whileas that LC-A is also from 84, it's lens is clearly inferrior compared to this nice Sonnar 38/2.8 :-) It's a rangefinder, just like the earlier Olympus XA (79), but if being set to F8, everything into the green line becames into focus, hence sharp, so one could use it as a point & shoot, simply.
man i had all the time a smile on ma face while i was watching the whole video. thats a big thing you know. also this film seems to has impressive reproduction of colors. Bravo!
tengo una duda y espero que con tus conocimientos en cámaras antiguas puedas ayudarme.Estoy pensando en comprarme una zeis ikon ikonta 6x9 y usarla para paisaje sobre todo,y lo que me preocupa es medir las distancias en caso de querer poner un objeo principal más cercano .Sabrías como obtener la distancia hiperfocal para una cámara de ese formato ,por ejemplo con una lente de 105 mm ,que es el modelo que más encuentro en ebay ? (tambien encuentro la Ercona)
Did you get a chance to pick up any 'FilmNeverDie' stock when you were in Tokyo? It's been my favorite Asian film find. It's quite warm but also has lighter pastel colors similar to Portra when shot at +2/3 or +1 stop, the grain is also quite nice.
The funny thing is those films are actually super cheap at around 4 -5 bucks per 36 shot roll and they’re 義務用 lol meaning they’re meant for industrial throwaway shots like for companies to take photos of commercial items for inventory if I’m correct. Not exactly considered to be the most suggested film for street or portraits but man he kills it😂 such amazing shots
Great episode Edo... I really enjoy it... maybe you can try to do an episode you and your friends trying to shoot the same subjects to see all three different points of view. Keep shooting edo! un abrazo... y siiii podrias haber estado en santiago hoy... dicen que estâ la cagâ
I just got one for 10 bucks !!! But the battery cover won’t come out 😭 Just my luck but hopefully I can fix it and try it out ! Ugh this video is such a tease rn lmaooo but love it !
Your friends look like they are from a different era.
Chris is from 80s and Trevor’s from the 70s straight up
To go with the technology no?
"may I crouch and take a picture of you filling your lungs with tobacco smoke?"-Eduardo
"why yes"- everyone in NYC
I've had my eye on this camera on eBay so was so pumped to see you testing it. Film makes everything look like a dreamy memory!
This shoot was smokin! Okay going away now.
4:39 wonderful
Such a good photo!
is that for a cancer study? xdd
this was one of the most enjoyable episodes to watch! how to do you focus the Contax T?
Awesome shots... the colors of this film look really good too!
Ya se te estaba echando de menos.
Como siempre, da gusto ver como te mueves por la calle.
Really appreciate all the wholesome moments in this video, great job!
It is a shame that film has been discontinued because it was one of my favourites while I was in Asia
Your videos are getting better and better. Doesn't hurt to be in NYC, hanging with the NYCSPC crew!
This background music is just too good
@3:23 It's so interesting how a millisecond of recognition of you captured on film transforms the feeling of the moment. Lovely work.
fuck you've become so good man each shot really bangs and you seem so comfortable in any situation that's honestly really impressing

Xi WU buy an external rangefinder for your Minox I did.

I got one of these Contax T a month ago, amazing camera, often looked over - wonderful shots!
How is your contax t doing? I'm interested in purchasing and upgrading from an olympus Xa2
Very vibrant colours and so sharp
I’m wondering if some of these will be a smokers on streets of NYC series. Great video as always.
This is so enjoyable to watch , i love these videos where a camera follows you shooting it thanks for doing this!
Eduardo, since you are shooting all this vintage cameras on film, your videos are timeless, I enjoy watching them all the time. I had a chance to buy original Contax T, but I didn't... photos look really neat 👍
Amazing video and photos as always! Just one question, how do you focus so fast with rangefinders? Do you always zone focus?
Just enjoy this so much, it makes me smile again and again. Thank you!
Great job you did there !! Loved the photos and your ninja style .
Looks like a fancy Minox 35 GT with a rangefinder, is there any connection between the two?

I really enjoyed this video! Your pictures are so compelling, a snapshot into life, well done!
Great video as always. Love the photos!
You are one of the best street photographers I have seen
Love the colors ! , the photos , the music !
Loved the video! Great seeing Trevor again and also Chris!
8:30 is too good mate!
Excelente trabajo. Durante unos minutos he podido sentir el ambiente de esas calles y su gente a través de tus fotografías. Gracias.
As you went into that crowd of protesters I thought of those super easy, chill shoots in the UK haha. Quite a change of pace
I can see your experience shooting protests kicking in here. Good video as always.
I absolutely love this film. Just wish it where more available here in Brasil
your thought on the camera after shooting with it?

I hope you eventually make a zine of all the smokers.
All photos are great, I think you're really honing in on this style of shooting. Somewhat reminds me of the work of Joel Meyerowitz.
Geat video!!! The scenes of you at the protest, looks like a one shot long take out of a movie! cheers!
man, that film is really good
Beautiful photos! Looks like a fun little camera, would love to see that rolled into a future review.
MY LORD. the quality.
Love the look, I have a roll sitting in my fridge for a special occasion.
and lovely colors from this film!
I didn't actually know that camera had a rangefinder! Damn, I want one now :-)
Really love the color and tone
Some great shots on that roll, quite smoking you might say!
man i had all the time a smile on ma face while i was watching the whole video. thats a big thing you know. also this film seems to has impressive reproduction of colors. Bravo!
Great video. You got some very nice shots in this one.
The crosswalk old man with the cash in hand is money, pun intended. I would buy that print.
That picture is gold !!!
*5:02** IS AMAZING*
I was going to develop my own film, but all the photos came out upside down... I don't know what I am doing wrong!
wow, I just got home from shooting and now this video wants to make me go back out.
Ahhhh the street vibe is real in New York!
Always look forward to your videos man
Oh i liked the end result, the colours are so 70's!

Isn't that just some rebranded fuji c200?
HI, what is the background music used? thank you!
man that shot at 4:39 is soooo good
The funny thing is those films are actually super cheap at around 4 -5 bucks per 36 shot roll and they’re 義務用 lol meaning they’re meant for industrial throwaway shots like for companies to take photos of commercial items for inventory if I’m correct. Not exactly considered to be the most suggested film for street or portraits but man he kills it😂 such amazing shots
my god the shot from 4:40.... fucking amazing work. you're gonna make me buy one of these
Great episode Edo... I really enjoy it... maybe you can try to do an episode you and your friends trying to shoot the same subjects to see all three different points of view. Keep shooting edo! un abrazo... y siiii podrias haber estado en santiago hoy... dicen que estâ la cagâ
So good lol and humorous photos... you catch the most unexpected moments... that's street photography.
very good technique at 2.39. Pretending to take a photo of something else and never making eye contact!
OMG...these cameras have been in my mind recently!!!! :D
Excelente video, la del señor contando dinero y la del pelado con el cigarrillo fotones!
3:33 Ed's expression like he escaped inevitable death once more
enjoyed watching you guys shoot!
Just snagged one off of ebay! Super pumped to shoot around town :)
Pretty much all your shots are keepers! Nice work. I lave that film, unsurprisingly it reminds me of fujicolour pro 400.
Fuji Industrial 400 was discontinued last year😢 the images reminded me of the 90’s for some reason!
FramesPerSecond I really liked the color grade of the film. Sad to hear that it’s gone
Really like those "smoking" photos.
I really like how fast did you asking somebody to be shot.
3:00 I’ve had this happen before while out shooting
That lens is awesome.
Hi, may i know your bg song for this ep? Thanks
at 4:02 That darn AF missed the spot!! Loved the video. How did you like the T? I have the T2 and G1.
what does it look like now
Dude you're so fast with the focusing and movement. I smile each time you miss a shot only because it makes you human. lol.
Ahola photo was a CLASSIC.
a quick shooting and review video with a lubitel 2 camera would be a great help!
Which settings did you had the camera at?
5:41 WOWOWOW! Great pictures! Really man!
Great video! Who needs a Leica!
the Urban smokers series
This was a bit up in smoke, if I may say so... but how did you like the camera? Quick camera, rangefinder useful?
This episode featuring cigarettes!
Would have loved to hear your thoughts on the camera, since I'm interested in one :-)
dang dude these are great and I wanna see that money pic that dude got too ! , I love the bokeh in your shots
Me encanto mucho el estilo Guerrilla para este video, y las fotos súper cool.
guy at 2:10 not looking impressed haha. great video as always!
Beautiful music and some okay photos ;) you lost weight dude ? Thank you for the upload
Amazing as usual 👌🏽
I just got one for 10 bucks !!! But the battery cover won’t come out 😭 Just my luck but hopefully I can fix it and try it out ! Ugh this video is such a tease rn lmaooo but love it !
I'm loving the music!!
Nice shots, amigo.
2:32 is with contax G + flash and not with contax t
