I purchased this camera, from Andy, earlier this week. He even sent the Yashica ML 1.9/50 'body cap' as a bonus. This Forum is GREAT!
Thanks again Andy!
I will of course post some samples from this camera when I get a chance to run a roll through it.

Congrats, Mike! I guess what we're wondering if this is the equivalent of giving a transistor radio to a gorilla... 
Nice product shots, BTW! |

I will have to find the instructions for this camera before I try to use it.
Of course, first things first, I should probably learn to read.

What a BEAUTY of a camera! And to receive an ML lens as a BONUS is over the top! Wow! Solid construction, smooth components, and that everlasting Contax build.
Congratulations, I would love to see some results!

After looking at your list of cameras and lenses when do you think you will get us some pictures from it?

Very nice, Mike. Just lightly brassed in the right places - a working camera, not a showpiece. I look forward to seeing something from it.

I'm Glad you like it Mike. This worked out well for both of us. The RTS II is the camera body that came with my Contax 3.5/100. We split the cost down the middle on it. Since you sent me a bit over, I added the lens. You might find a pleasant surprise in that lens. It's pretty sharp and has nice colors. Also very lightweight. Makes a great street shooter set with an Aria, Yashica FR, FX3, or any of the lightweight C/Y bodies (the RTS II is not).  |

The RTS is a brick with a glass hole in the middle!
I actually like a little weight to the camera, I usually do not have to hold or carry it long.
