<p>Sorry to reply so late!. I did not find a solution but Contax service in Spain was open to fix the problem, for a modest fee of about 500 USD!. <br>

So, I still have the problem and probably never will fix it. I remove batteries when storing the camera and that is all.<br>

I own some more Contax bodies, in particular two RTS-I which are in working state. One of these is a RTS Gold 50 Anniversary, of course without any use (btw, I tried to sell it some years ago, without much success). <br>

The rarest I own is a Hewlett Packard 139, made by Contax for a HP plotter device. It is a Contax 139 with some modifications. <br>

Thanks for your answer.</p>

<p>My Contax RTS III speed/f displays (the small blue displays within the viewfinder) stay on when I set the camera in the off position, and keep on, until I remove the batteries. <br>

If I operate the controls nothing happens, which is to be expected, and the speed and f displays do not change when I change the corresponding dials. So it seems the camera is actually off except the blue background light stays on forever.<br>

Does anyone have experienced a similar problem (and have a solution) ? <br>

Regards.<br>

Luis.</p>
