Contax 137 MD Quartz
An electronically controlled 35mm SLR with an integrated motor drive and quartz-timed shutter.
The Contax 137 MD Quartz is a 35mm SLR camera that features an integrated motor drive, providing a continuous shooting speed of 2 frames per second. It was notable for incorporating quartz timing for high shutter speed accuracy. The camera uses the C/Y (Contax/Yashica) mount, allowing access to high-performance Carl Zeiss T* optics, and offers aperture-priority auto-exposure.
Common issues with the 137 MD include the degradation of the external leatherette, which often becomes sticky or peels; SDS checks if this has been replaced or refurbished. We also verify the electronics, as the motor drive and quartz timing circuits can fail with age. Light seals and the mirror bumper are inspected and replaced if they show signs of perishing.
