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.

Good luck!
