All knobs, levers, dials, and switches actuate with precision, and the LCD display is fully functional. The lens mount is in perfect shape and the titanium body is free of scratches and damage. The film compartment is free of dust and debris, the battery compartment is clean and free of corrosion. Reviews of this camera and lens combination can be seen here. It is ready to produce another lifetime of fantastic photos. It is the camera that featured in many of the G system Casual Photophile reviews. It was the founder of the shop's personal camera and used periodically for the past two years (very lightly and carefully). This camera is in incredibly pristine condition (the best I've seen) and it is fully functional. Contax G2: Sample PhotosĬheck out these Contax G2 sample photos taken in the UK between 2012-2015 with either Kodak Tri-X 400TX 35mm black & white film or Kodak Portra 400 35mm colour film.Įnjoyed reading or viewing the sample photos of the Millennium Dome taken with Konica Centuria 200 35mm colour film in this blog post? Please like and share.Here we have a stunningly clean Contax G2 35mm film rangefinder camera with Carl Zeiss Planar 45mm F/2 fast prime lens, Contax GG lens hood, Contax UV filter, Contax front and rear lens caps, Contax body cap, Contax carrying case, Contax strap, with manuals, inspection papers, and other documentation Small tone and exposure adjustments were made in Adobe Camera Raw. Linear raw Tiff files were then saved and processed using my own method for inverting colour negatives in Photoshop. Palm labs, Birmingham, developed the negatives, and I scanned them myself using the Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 film scanner and VueScan. The films used are Kodak Tri-X 400 black and white film and Kodak Portra colour film. The camera & film detailsįor those interested, all the photos below were taken with the Contax G2 rangefinder camera and various Carl Zeiss T* lenses, which are among the sharpest in the world. And I always come back to using it even after taking a break and using other cameras (both digital and 35mm). I have taken many Contax G2 sample photos over the past five years. It really is a great camera to use and is becoming increasingly more expensive to buy.

And the exposure is nearly always correct. I also like to take it with me on holiday. This well-built rangefinder camera is small, discrete, and great to use for street photography (and looks superb!). I mostly use Kodak Tri-X 400 black and white film and Kodak Portra colour film. When I am not shooting weddings using a digital camera, I love to use the Contax G2 rangefinder camera and 35mm film.
