Contax AX
The CONTAX AX was one of the most innovative cameras of the decade. Just like cameras in the 80s, CONTAX decided to go all out and would produce this camera from 1996 until the company closed in 2005.
Born from a film camera prototype in the 80s, the CONTAX AX could turn any manual focus lens into an autofocus lens using the special mount that came with the camera. Essentially, it had a camera within a camera.
The chubby, heavy design doesn’t look particularly usable, but it was surprisingly versatile for a 35mm SLR that looks like this.
While it could never compete with the likes of Nikon and Canon, it still made waves in the innovation stakes.
