This video will take you through the inter-connected chain of events and intrigues, marriages, divorces and affairs that let to the Secret Project 13 and the creation of the Iconic CONTAX RTS, possibly the best SLR camera ever made, a decade ahead of most of the others. I will also introduce you to the family members, close and distant that you may not have guessed.
In addition to CONTAX RTS, The family members that we show live are:
-CONTAX 139
-Contaflex
-Contina
-Yashica 35
-Yashica Electro 35
There is a guest appearance by Leica R6.2.
The rest of the family branches are included but not demonstrated live.

We are keen on accuracy. So, if you have any questions, comments or corrections, it will be greatly appreciated.
We have over 300 cameras from 1901 to 2015 at the TechHeritage Museum. We will produce videos like this one at the rate of at least one per week until all cameras are preserved not only in the flesh but also online.
Please give us a thumbs up, subscribe and share.
TechHeritage Mission Statement:
TechHeritage is dedicated to the preservation of the Human Consumer Technology in the same manner as experts have been carefully preserving the heritage of ancient civilizations in museums. Imagine if in Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome there were people who were interested in preserving the consumer technology of that time for the future generations. Imagine if they already had "Future Museums", carefully storing and documenting the best examples of their time in perfect working condition, just for us.
The technology of that time may have included pottery, jewel making, glassware, bronze and steel making, astronomy tools and various devices we cannot imagine or believe today. Currently, we re-discover such objects by digging the ground, separating them from dirt and bones, whilst speculating on how they were made and exactly how they were used.
There appears to be some negligence in the preservation of the consumer technology of the last 100 years. There are so many devices that were made barely 40 years ago (which is a blip in the historical scale) which do not work today and it is almost impossible to find a way to make them work. Just looking at them is not enough. They must absolutely work. They must be perfect.
Those who knew how they were made have passed away. Just try to make a first generation iPhone or a late 1970's electronic film camera to work! What about 100 species of batteries or countless versions of chargers required? Given another 40 years, it may be impossible to get a film camera to work as there may not be any film, chemicals, parts or working cameras left.
How will future generations appreciate 20 years of Nokia heritage with no working batteries or strange things called 2G SIM cards? How will the future generations marvel at those fully mechanical cameras of the past with 1000 parts, more complex than a watch? Our mission will be appreciated when AI takes over, keeping us stupid and indifferent. We will have no idea how anything works. If something stops working, we will be clue-less and barely better than the cave men.
We have over 300 cameras from 1901 to 2015 at the TechHeritage Museum. We will produce videos at the rate of at least one per week until all cameras are preserved not only in the flesh but also online. Similarly, we have over 300 mobile phones from the time of their introduction until the release of iPhone X. We have also started to preserve late, miniature valve radios and early transistor radio/ cassette players.
If you are interested in preserving the technological heritage of the last 100 years or so, please consider donating to the TechHeritage channel. No, not money. We do not need your money. By donation, we mean forgotten technology that is collecting dust in your old cupboard in the basement. It may be an old camera, an early mobile phone or even an early transistor radio. It probably won't work. But that is fine. Please mention in comments to our relevant videos. We will contact you and organize shipment. We will then produce a video on that item in your name and thank you.
If you do not have any tech heritage to share, at lease share the channel link and encourage others to subscribe. This can be your contribution to the preservation of the human consumer technology of the last 100 years.
