Yes but the contax rts are very expensive cameras!...
I was thinking on a yashica body or a pentax k1000

I would go for the Pentax any time. So much more popular and there are plenty around, what's more they are mechanical and will be repairable. The FX series are electronic and the possibility of getting them repaired is slim.
the leicaflex sl and sl2 had mechanically damped mirrors in an attempt to make an slr with as little vibration as a leica M rangefinder -- they came darn close, if my example is any indication. Never tried that penny trick.
You can always go with any body that has a mirror lockup feature. Vibration is rarely an issue; where vibration begins to matter is in close up/macro work, and sometimes it will set up a resonance in a lightweight tripod.

Well, that and telephoto work. And it's generally more a problem at slower shutter speeds, like 1/30 to 1/2. Depending on the (35mm) camera, I found 1/15 or 1/8 to be worst.
I do use a digital device in my photographic pursuits when necessary.
When someone rags on me for using film, I use a middle digit, upraised.
