-
- 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
- majordomo@cdegroot.com 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.
