Contax G1 35mm rangefinder film camera body only

Description:

We already have the G1 with lens listing from earlier in our session. This body-only version needs a slightly different description since there’s no lens to highlight, and we can note the green label question since it affects lens compatibility. I’ve written it to stand on its own.
Description:

The G1 is one of the more interesting cameras to come out of the 1990s film era, and it still turns heads. It brought autofocus to an interchangeable-lens rangefinder for the first time, wrapped in a titanium body that feels and looks properly premium. Sold body only, it’s a great entry point into the Contax G system, and pairs with any of the Carl Zeiss G-mount lenses, the 45mm f/2 Planar being the most popular starting point. The aperture priority mode handles exposure smoothly, and the motorised film advance keeps things quick. This Contax G1 is the « green label » version which supports all G lenses (21mm, 28mm, 35mm, 45mm, 90mm, 16mm).
