#FLICKR CONTAX G2 SERIES#

The Yashica series of cameras are like budget Contax T2/3sГўв‚¬вЂќthey come loaded with laser-sharp Carl Zeiss lenses, but unlike the Contaxs, are housed in plastic bodies. 9) Yashica T2-5 (1986-1995) Image by Damiao Santana / Flickr.Contax T2 recent | interesting | random.I checked the battery charge with a cheker and it seemed to be charged, not exhausted So i pulled out the battery and replaced it to reset the camera, but nothing changed. Hi everyone, Yesterday i pick up my Contax T2 to load up a roll and when I turned the switch to ON there have been no lens movement at all.By using this site, you agree to the use of cookies by Flickr and our partners as described in our cookie policy Contax T2 Hillvale Sunny 16 This site uses cookies to improve your experience and to help show content that is more relevant to your interests Visit my InstagramГЇВЅЕ“Blog Fujifilm X-T3 + Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 Camera: Contax T2 Lens: Carl Zeiss Sonnar 38mm 2.8T Film: fujicolor C20 CONTAX T2 Carl Zeiss Sonnar 38mm F2.8 T* DNP CENTURIA 20 contax T2 Flick I have never used the T camera's, but I have always wanted one of those Fuji Klausse W cameras, which Fuji just decided to cease production of (more food for thought).This site uses cookies to improve your experience and to help show content that is more relevant to your interests. Last, I found this guy a great G owner, he really broke down the nuances: Be careful buying a used expensive camera/lens, make sure you can evaluate it and return if it is not as described.

Note, any of my conclusions I made in my research could be wrong, make your own determination. I am not sure off the top of my head which lenses the one without the green sticker will take, but think RockewellВ’s site breaks it down nice.

As anyone will say, get good glass and upgrade later as you can afford, especially since these lenses are being bought up a lot for non-analog cameras as of late however as Rich says, there are different breeds of G1В’s if you take that route since they are so inexpensive, there are two: one that can take only some lenses and then the expanded one (green sticker). However, I believe in all my research, I read that the 90mm is not the best with the G1 due to the G1 not having a two tiered focusing methodology. The focal length is a personal preference, so the 28mm is what I got, due to the subject matter I wanted to use it with. I donВ’t think you can go wrong with any of the G lenses (well the 16mm is a bit of unique lens that is quite expensive). Re flashes, I donВ’t use them much and ended up just using my larger one, but there is some great info re Contax GВ’s and flashes here:

I figured the G2 being from >1996 and <2006 would have this occur less than the G1 which is <=1996. Third, I wanted the G2 because it was newer and for a battery dependent modern camera, I read a few postings of sellers talking about LCD bleed in their GВ’s.

I sometimes keep a roll of 400 at 800 and shoot indoor, but if I happen to be outdoor in sun, it can still handle it with a 1/6000 and wide open (f2.8). I also liked that the G2 has faster shutter speeds, the G1 is max 1/2000 and G2 can get 1/6000 when in Auto mode and 1/4000 in manual. (there was a url link here which no longer exists) I went the G2 route because I love black, I have always wanted a black RF with interchangeable lenses and had to splurge on the G2 (I believe they only made the G2 in black): I, like you did a ton of research and was helped by many of the posters here, these folks are great! I just joined the Contax G family myself.
