Condition report:

The contax G2 has been dubbed as the most advanced rangefinder camera ever made. It is a fully electronic autofocus camera that offers auto exposure modes, automatic film loading, automatic advancing, automatic rewinding and TTL metering for both flash and ambient light. It is a luxury camera that can do everything for you and is paired with exceptionally good lenses designed by the legendary Carl Zeiss. The G2 is the sucessor of the G1 and added improved autofocus performance and several other minor changes. The camera exterior shows some light wear, especially near the strap lugs where the titanium finish has been worn off by the camera strap and on the collar of the shutter button. The collar of the shooting mode knob also shows some damage but the button itself has luckily been protected by the collar itself. This Contax G2 benefitted from a full service by ACR. the camera and lens have been fully checked and everything works as expected. There is a small amount of corrosion present in the film chamber but this is limited to the film chamber only and is not found inside the camera. The lens is in good condition and is free of haze, only under close inspection with flashlight a little bit of dust can be found inside the lens as is expected.
This fully serviced Contax G2 offers a very easy shooting experience and a very sharp lens.

Main specs of the Contax G2:

Just like the G1, the G2 is a rangefinder inspired camera body. However it is a fully automated and autofocusing system camera. It uses the same amazing Carl Zeiss G-mount lenses that were designed specially for this camera system. The improved shutter can should on 1/4000th to 1s exposures, bulb and flash syncs on 1/200th in stead of 1/100th. The new drive dail shows options for single, continuous low, continous high, double exposure and selftimer. There is a dedicated exposure compensation dail. When the shutter speed dail is turned off the A position, the camera enters full manual exposure mode. The G2 does have a built in DX reader inside, but ISO can be set by the user as well. The viewfinder not only shows basic exposure info, but will also display the distance it focused on. With this handy feature you can double check if the AF did what it should do, since there is no other visual way of confirming where focus is located. The main difference with the G1 and G2 is the autofocus, the G1 is reliable and accurate but was lacking some speed, the G2 is much improved and a totally different camera on that regard.

Contax G2 variants:

There are 2 color options for the Contax G2 camera. As standard the camera came in the silver/titanium color. In 1998 a black ''millenium'' edition was released. This camera could be had in a special case with a 28mm, 45mm, 90mm, TLA200 flash and may accessories, all in black. This is the exact same camera but highly sought after by collectors, expect to pay a premium for this color version.Click here to read everything about the G1 and G2 system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contax_G
