Sometimes it is necessary to have time and look here and there and not to buy the first offer.
Today I finished my search. 2 years ago I planned to buy a Contax SLR system. The first item I got was the flash TLA 360 which I found at my local dealer. 6 month ago I started with a discussion regarding 2 Contax Zoom lenses (Vario Sonnar 28-85 and 80-200) which I found at my dealer but his price ideas were clearly too high.
Although the lenses looked like new he wants to get too much money. After 6 month of weekly negotiations he made a price reduction of 40 % and the lenses were mine. Thanks again my dear dealer 
And then I found the cam - finally. Near unused, looks like new and in perfect condition. No *bay scrap. Unfortunately I must pay for this cam more than I planned, so the money I saved with the lenses I had to pay more for the cam.
That´s life - but at the end I´m very happy. Today I shot 3 rolls. Next week I will show here few images with this new combo.
