Customer Review: Still The Best 35mm Rangefinder Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Introduced nearly a decade ago, the Contax G2 autofocus 35mm rangefinder camera is still the most advanced, feature-laden camera in its class (In stark contrast, the Leica M7 comes a distant second, since it lacks the high flash synchronization speed of 1/200 of a second which is available on the Contax G2, along with the other camera's distinctive features, most notably autofocus.). Its Carl Zeiss G-series lenses are not only second to none, but are relatively cheap when compared to their more expensive Leica M equivalents. Unfortunately autofocus tends to be slow, even in continuous AF mode, but if you are willing to be patient, you will be rewarded with superb, sharp and contrasty pictures, especially in color. It is also much noiser than its Leica M brethern, so those interested in photographing as discreetly as possible may prefer instead, manual focusing Leica M cameras (I primarily use my Leica M equipment, and use my Contax G2 kit mainly for indoor flash photography.). Still, distinguished photographers such as Magnum's Luc Delahaye, have used this camera and its lenses to record some of the most important images of our time.
Description of Contax G2 - Rangefinder - 35mm - body only
Contax continues the direction set in 1994 by adding another revolutionary camera to its professional AF rangefinder line. The G2 becomes the flagship camera in a professional line that continues to grow. The G2 raises the standard for rangefinder cameras with a four frame per second integrated motor drive, top shutter speeds of up to 1/6000 second, X sync at 1/200 second and adds an extended baseline autofocus system.The Carl Zeiss T* lens line is now enhanced with the addition of the Carl Zeiss T* Biogon 21mm f2.8 and the Planar 35mm f2.0. These lenses are wide angle formulas achieving the lowest distortion and highest optical quality. The new GD-2 Multi-Function Data Back has a special feature that allows printing all technical details used throughout the roll on the first or first and second frames of the roll. Optionally, this same data may be printed between frames or turned off.All Film Cameras
