Snap Decision
The quality of the lens is paramount to having high quality images. The Contax Aria 35mm SLR Manual Focus Camera uses Zeiss lenses arguably the finest lenses manufactured in Germany. I have an older model Contax and the pictures are razor sharp. I have several friends who have purchased this camera and all are happy.
If you can swing it consider a 120mm camera. I use a Bronica. The negative is 3 times the size of 35mm and the images are super sharp.
