Some may wonder why one would buy something like a Leica M6 for $1500, BODY ONLY when they can have a full Contax G2 and lens set for less than that. Yes, a full rangefinder camera with 3-5 Zeiss lenses for $1300. The good news is this is a camera that you can find used, WITH a complete set of lenses for about $1200-$1400. The Contax G2 with the Zeiss 21, 28, 35, 45, and 90. It’s no longer made or available new of course. I was sent the whole set to play with for a few weeks so this will just be a small-ish article with my thoughts on this camera.
Contax created this camera with a set of lenses made by Zeiss and I have to say that these lenses ROCK. To those who do not know what it is, the Contax G2 is an Auto Focus rangefinder camera that was a direct competitor to the Leica M6. Of course I jumped at the chance! I always wanted to try out the G2 so this was awesome.
He was curious to see what I thought of it as he knows I love Leica rangefinders. TGIFF! Yes, this means THANK GOD ITS FILM FRIDAY! I am out with my family on vacation right now but through the magic of the internet I wrote this a few days ago and scheduled it to post today so you guys would have something new to read while I am away! Cool huh?Ī very cool friend of mine called me up while I was on the road traveling from IL to AZ and said “Would you like to try out the Contax G2”? He wanted me to try it since I am now deeply into shooting film. A quick look at the Contax G2 Camera System by Steve Huff
