 

The Contax T ix weighs in at only 7 3/4 ounces
and is about the size of a small bar of soap. The T ix, however is a great
performer, due to its Carl Zeiss T* lens and
titanium construction. It is a Contax by any standard, and that means there is
nothing better.
The T ix uses a sophisticated passive autofocus
system that hones in on the subject precisely. Multi-AF and Spot AF are both
available. This system allows the Carl Zeiss T*
lens to perform at a very high optical level. Contax chose the Carl Zeiss
T* Sonnar 28mm f2.8 lens for the T ix because of
its high performance characteristics with regard to distortion, colour
rendition, resolution and contrast.
There's only one camera that could possibly set a
new standard for Advanced Photo System Photography. Presenting the revolutionary
Contax T ix with Carl Zeiss T* optics-the smallest
Contax camera ever created.
This remarkable new camera has everything you've
come to appreciate about Contax combined with a newly designed Carl Zeiss
T* 28mm f2.8 lens. This partnership delivers razor
sharp photos and exquisite colour reproduction. A rugged yet luxurious camera
body wraps around an Advanced Passive Auto Focus system usually found only on
the most expensive AF SLR's. Now combine all this with the latest technology
available from the new Advanced Photo System camera.
The Contax T ix utilises the most extensive level
of magnetic information exchange technology in the world. So your pictures will
come back exactly the way you remember taking them. Plus, the Advanced Photo
System offers you the advantage of selecting three different print sizes,
drop-in loading and composite index prints.
