Using the SA-2 TLA flash adapter you can use the TLA 200 TTL Flash for greater flash output and range. B+W, Heliopan, Hoya, and Contax all make several filters in this size and this greatly enhances one's capabilities in the field and expressionistically. With the filter adapter you can affix a metal hood for unparalleled flare reduction (just like the old Rollei 35) and of course the whole universe of filters available in th 30.5mm thread. Did I mention that the T3 can accept the widest range of accesories of any compact camera ever produced? That's what makes the T3 part of the entire Contax system. Perhaps even too sharp! Does Zeiss make a Softar in 30.5mm thread filters? I'd say it rivals the Planar 2.0/45 on the G series in resolution, color, contrast, and delineation. The Carl Zeiss T* Coated Sonnar 2.8/35 is one of the sharpest lenses I've ever shot with. Unfortunately, with the exception of the Ricoh GR-Digital, no manufacturer has even tried stepping up to the plate to deliver a digital camera capable of dethroning the "King" of the posh point & shoot camera from the CONTAX T3. I've owned several of these little beauties and the CONTAX T3 still has a place in my heart, even in this digital world we now live in. Contax T3 with Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 2.8/35
