What’s a comfortable range for contraltos?

I want to start composing vocal music especially for contraltos but I want to hear input from contraltos as to what they consider a comfortable singing range. I know contraltos should be able to sing from F3 to G5 but what works on paper doesn’t always translate well in the field.

    As a contralto, I find my most comfortable range to be F3 to C5.
