## Description

desertcart.com : G2 Camera Body : Rangefinder Film Cameras : Electronics

Review: Great 35mm film Camera - I grew up on film cameras and traveled Europe with a Minolta 35mm film system with AF in the early '90s. Moved to a digital Kodak around 2000 and have not looked back at film until recently. Have gotten more interested in photography of late (just got a Fujifilm X-T2 which is fantastic) and read web commentaries about the high quality Contax G model series as an "inspiration" for the Fuji X-Series. Thought I restart my film experience and got a Contax G2 camera with Carl Zeiss 28mm & 45mm lenses. As sure as the sun shines these write-ups praising the G series are on target. The Contax G2 is a beautiful, well designed and convenient camera that is fully automated - range-finder type autofocus, auto film advance and rewind - it is quaint by today's standards. There is a manual focus mode but can be tricky because the a) it is not an SLR through the lens viewfinder (there is a alignment guide in the viewfinder to assist) and b) a wheel on the camera body is the method to focus the lens instead of the traditional on-lens ring. There is also a Continuous shooting mode for taking multiple photos at low or high speed - have not tried this yet. With either the 28mm or 45mm Carl Zeiss G lenses attached you will get superb photos - sharp, "contrasty", wonderful color and exposure. The G2's light meter is almost supernatural in getting the exposure right. The AF is a little noisy but so far has been accurate. The CZ lenses have a aperture ring that determines the shutter speed which is displayed on a yellow bar at the bottom of the viewfinder along with a distance meter. A very simple and effective setup. Draw backs are purchasing film (desertcart has a good selection) and getting it developed. No 24 hour turnaround shops these days - must mail it to a central location - takes about a week to get the scanned photos on-line, two for the negatives. About $16 per 24 frame roll. It adds up but you will enjoy the process and the results.

### ⭐⭐⭐ why did amazon use a black contax g2 in the photo
*by L***R on March 28, 2013*

its fraud because Amazon used a black Contax g2 on its site in the photo why did you do this on amazon

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The camera is nice and clean
*by N***O on October 18, 2014*

The camera is nice and clean, and at first I took five pictures successfully, but then it turns out that the gear of the shutter is broken. I feel really frustrated and I don't know where to fix it. Hope I can find a place. It's just made me feel so sad cause this is my first time buying a stuff as expensive as this.
