 1.  Introduction

 Welcome to the Contax SLR FAQ. This FAQ, a work in progress, is meant
 to collect knowledge about resources on the World Wide Web that deal
 with Contax 35mm SLR's.

 This FAQ is available on the World Wide Web, in several formats:

 o  HTML format <http://www.cdegroot.com/photo/contax/contax-slr-
    faq.html>

 o  SGML format <http://www.cdegroot.com/photo/contax/contax-slr-
    faq.sgml>

 o  plain text <http://www.cdegroot.com/photo/contax/contax-slr-
    faq.txt>

 o  PostScript <http://www.cdegroot.com/photo/contax/contax-slr-faq.ps>

    If you have any problems, suggestions, or questions, please contact
    the maintainer, Cees de Groot <mailto:[email protected]>.

 2.  General information


 2.1.  What info about Contax is available on the Web?

 Probably more than I'm aware of. Here's a list:

 o  I'm maintaining a mailing list, the Yashica/Contax SLR list. You
    can subscribe to the list by sending a mail to
    [email protected] with in the body the line:

    subscribe yashicacontax-slr



 o  I've also dedicated a part of my homepage
    <http://www.cdegroot.com/photo/contax> to the topic. Information on
    the mailing list and the FAQ is over there and more might be added
    in the future.

 o  In January 1999, a competing Contax list was started for some
    reason.  It covers mostly the same topics as the Yashica/Contax SLR
    list (officially it excludes Yashica, but I think that's an
    inevitable topic). You can find it at
    http://www.mailinglist.net/contax

 o  On the Usenet, these newsgroups are relevant:

 o  rec.photo.equipment.35mm, about 35mm equipment in general. Lots of
    this is of course about the big brands, but you'll find something
    about Contax as well, occasionally.

 o  rec.photo.marketplace, where buyers and sellers meet. Contax stuff
    is regularly offered over here.


 o  Information about the current line of contax SLR products can be
    found on Kyocera's Contax Website <http://www.contaxcameras.com>.

 o  An awful lot of information on photography in general is available
    from the mother of all photo FAQs, Guide to rec.photo
    <http://www4.ncsu.edu/unity/users/j/jnweg/html/faq.html>. It is
    especially important to consult this listing of pointers for
    information on buying and selling via the newsgroups and by mail-
    order before plunging into uncertain deals.
