She was the last top-level film camera of Contax, with excellent craftsmanship, one level higher than T2 and T3. If you have touched the TVS III, you will find that the T2 is somewhat rough, and the T3 is somewhat thin, but the TVS III is the ultimate embodiment of Porsche design, with a very cool electric suspension lens cover design, which has a bit of a Porsche concept car feel.
I bought three Contax TVS III cameras in one go to shoot color film, not because Leica’s colors are inferior to Contax’s. Rather, the TVS III is more suitable to put in your pocket, pull out gently when you see a beautiful scene, focus and take the shot. The resulting photos have beautiful colors, while the camera itself has an elegant and smooth titanium alloy feel, creating a seamless experience between the photographer and the photograph.
In fact, when you touch the Contax TVS III, you can feel that it is a top-notch camera, even more so than the Leica M, which can seem rough and bulky in comparison. The TVS III is graceful and elegant. It is the camera with the highest level of craftsmanship that I have ever seen. In any situation, when you pull out a camera with this kind of texture, even people who are not interested in photography will come over to admire the body of the camera. I almost feel embarrassed to take it out. No matter if you look at it from the top, bottom, left, or right, it feels comfortable to hold and admire.
