Then, don't just buy this camera because you want a great film camera with autofocus.

Finding a Contax 645 can take longer than you expect. Especially if you are in Europe, you need to be patient. Do you have any advice for a potential buyer of a 645?.I went to the shop, and the camera was still in its box, with all the seals. Then one day I found an advertisement: there was a seller in Milan, about one hour drive from where I live. Ebay was literally full of Contax 645 bodies coming from Japan or US, but I resisted the temptation to buy one online from overseas because I wanted to verify its conditions and integrity. Here in Italy the Contax 645 is very hard to find: it was never very common because of it's high price, so I feared that all I could find was some tired and over-used ones from old photographers. How and where did you find your camera?.I loved the colours and the bokeh was just unreal.

I started doing some research and found that one of my favourite wedding photographers, Jose Villa, was doing magic with his Contax 645. I'm a wedding photographer, and when I became interested in Film Photography I thought it would be great to become a hybrid shooter, and thought I would need a film camera with a built-in light meter and autofocus.
