Description:
We have a real soft spot for the Contax G1. It sits in a rare category: a camera with proper Carl Zeiss glass, autofocus, and a titanium body that feels like a precision instrument in the hand. The 35mm f/2 Planar is a wonderful match for it, giving you a natural field of view that works for almost everything, from street photography to travel to portraits. The G1 is more approachable than a Leica M and easier to use day-to-day, with aperture priority taking care of exposure while you focus on the shot. The autofocus is reliable in good light and the whole system stays quiet and compact. For anyone wanting to shoot with serious glass without the complexity of a fully manual rangefinder, this is one of the best options out there.
This Contax G1 is the « green label » version which supports all G lenses (21mm, 28mm, 35mm, 45mm, 90mm, 16mm).
