Shutter: Electronic Metal Vertical Travel Focal Plane Shutter, 16″ – 1/6000″ A Contax G2 mounting the Planar 45/2 lens in titanium, along with a fantastic Belgium Pilsner on a street cafe in Antwerp. And while I have since given up the G2 it will remain a touchstone camera within my own personal photographic journey. The G2 quickly became the camera of choice when space was a sticking point, a camera to keep in the car, take on photo walks all culminating in my 2015 trip to Europe where I took one of my favourite photos that I’ve ever taken. And actually one of the first rolls of film I shot through the camera was my final roll of Kodachrome. I don’t remember exactly what drew me to the G2 when I first got my hands on the camera back at the end of the first decade of the 21st-Century so right near the start of my return to film.
But it’s a rangefinder and a dressed-up point-and-shoot, in reality, it’s a camera that’s in a class all of its own, the Autofocus Rangefinder (AFRF). When you first lay eyes on the Contax G series of cameras you’re going to wonder to yourself, what sort of camera are these? Are they rangefinders? Are they some kind of digital camera? A dressed-up point and shoot? Well the G Series is sort of both, well it certainly is not a digital camera.
