The titanium body was produced in three finishes (champagne, black paint, and black chrome), and in any of the three it cuts a figure. And the Contax G2 is very near to the essence of what makes a camera a fantastic machine. It’s to experience a fantastic machine while making good photos. The real reason we shoot classic cameras (and likely the reason you read this site’s content, own seventeen cameras, and love film) isn’t just to make good photos. Not all of good cameras are worth shooting. But when talking about what elevates a camera from a good camera to a truly special camera, the ability to make a good photograph is almost beside the point.
CONTAX G2 28MM HOW TO
Like the Contax, as long as the shooter knows how to make good photos, the Canon 5D will make good photos. The G2 is much more than that.Ī Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is a good camera. Point it, shoot it, and as long as you understand and employ a basic knowledge of the things that make a photograph decent, you’ve made an excellent shot.īut the G2 isn’t just a good camera that’s capable of making good photos. As with some other cameras we’ve covered in the past, the G2 is almost like cheating. I can’t seem to part with it, and I use it whenever I want guaranteed results. As other masterful machines come and go, the G2 stays. Since then, it’s become the camera I’ve owned for the longest span of time. But when my pal at the local camera shop dangled one from behind the counter and offered a potent discount, I couldn’t resist. The cost of entry, coupled with a misplaced belief in the internet myth that they’re prone to breaking and utterly unfixable in such an event had me regarding them with a cocked eyebrow and a shrug. But in spite of these radical departures from the classic formula (or rather, because of them) the Contax G2 is one of the most impressive rangefinders in the world, and one of the best 35mm film cameras ever made.
