The compact, lightweight answer for professionals and serious amateurs that will accept nothing less than the superior image quality of Carl Zeiss T* lenses. It's a sophisticated 35mm dual-focus SLR that's packed with features that enable quick, easy control. There's an integrated motor drive, built-in flash and more, all in the most ergonomic Contax camera body to date. And all in a high-value photographic package.
The Contax NX is distinguished by ease of handling, light weight and a compact size. Like the Contax N1 launched last year, the NX is equipped with a 5 point Wide Array Diagonal Autofocus and a Dual Focus System.
Besides the Contax N1, with its highly sophisticated features, there is now not only the Contax NX with slightly more basic features and easy handling, but the N system is also being expanded by new interchangeable lenses.
Carl Zeiss T* Optics
The finest glass. The most advanced designs. The most stringent manufacturing techniques. And, of course, world-famous Carl Zeiss T* lens coating. The NX employs the finest lenses in the world.
Eco Glass
A new type of glass eliminates the environmentally unfriendly materials found in traditional lenses. Lead and arsenic has been replaced with titanium and niobium producing glass that is not only environmentally safe but also lighter.
Five-Point Wide Array Diagonal Auto Focus
The world's first five-point focus array with peripheral focus sensors on the "rule of thirds" points, in addition to a central cross-line sensor. Makes positioning the subject for composition and focus easier than ever.
Dual Focus Control
The NX lets you switch between auto and manual focus at the push of a button. The system also allows manual focus assist in autofocus mode, as well as providing an option for autofocus assist in manual mode.
Spot, Center-Weighted, and Matrix Metering
A selector switch on the side of the mirror box makes it easy to choose between spot, center-weighted, and matrix metering. In matrix metering, the viewfinder displays the variation from a standard center-weighted reading.
Phase Difference Detection AF
A contrast measurement system that uses scene detail to precisely zero in on the subject. The ultrasonic motors incorporated into every N Series lens have been hand selected to deliver the highest torque, speed, and accuracy possible.
20 Custom Functions
Customize camera operation according to preferences and needs.
