The newest addition to the Contax family boasts technological highlights not found in any other camera system. It also incorporates several "World's First Features":

 5 Point Wide Array Diagonal Focus System
 Fine Focus ABC (Auto Bracketing Control)
 Liquid Crystal Display Viewfinder (optional)

 

 

Contax is also launching four N-mount lenses (three of which incorporate Ultra Sonic Motors), newly developed by Carl Zeiss for use with the N1:

 Vario-Sonnar T* 24-85mm F3.5-4.5
 Vario-Sonnar T* 70-300mm F4-5.6
 Planar T* 50mm F1.4
 Makro-Planar T* 100mm F2.8

Additionally, by utilizing the NAM-1 Mount Adapter, the Contax N1 can use all 7 of the Carl Zeiss T* Medium Format Lenses from the 645. Plus in the Spring, we will be launching two additional lenses for the system:

 Planar 85mm F1.4
 Vario-Sonnar 17-35mm F2.8

And to further complement the N1 system, we will announce the N Digital Camera for Spring 2001. Download the Contax N1 brochure in high resolution .pdf format: N1 part 1, N1 part 2, N1 part 3, N1 part 4. View these .pdf files by downloading the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
