Contax G users in this forum?

[zeiss planar]

Hi ! I 've being using my G1 with 35/2 and 90/2.8 for the past few years.It is a lovely little rangefinder with all the modern bell and whistle.
Anyone using G here?

 

[suzums]

Yep! Me with G1 + 28 Biogon + 45 Planar for now.. but thinking of adding the 90 Sonar to the list very soon!

 

[igpenguin]

used to own a G system.. who knows i might go back to it again.

 

[fastshot]

Yep, I got 2 units of G2 and 2 units of 28mm Biogon. And 1 each 21 Biogon, 45 Planar and 90 Sonnar. The 2 bodies typically loaded with B/W and slide film. Most often used lens are the 28 and 21 Biogons for street and landscape.

If only Contax will come up with a digital rangefinder than can use those G lenses, it will be a winner. Unfortunately, Contax threw in the towel.

Me too!!!! Love the G systems. Ultimate value for money now. Excellent built and construction, not to mention unmatched optical quality, especially the colour.

I have the G2, 28mm, 35mm, 45mm and 90mm, and a 21mm permanently fixed to my G1.

Bought a D70s recently but find it not much of a kick and it has been cold-storaged since, becos I am going back to my G system. Have bought a film scanner instead.

It is quite sad to see many people disposing of ther g systems nowadays.:dunno:

Please don't flame me but in my opinion , Prime is always selling much higher and more expensive than the rest of the 2nd hand shop there.I've never have any successful dealing with them.:bsmilie:

In addition to the standard G2 black set (28mm/45mm/90mm), my 21mm is also black one.... but there is no quality differentiation between the chrome and the black thou... :embrass: Cheers!

 

[elixir]

is there a high premium to pay for the black set? 20% more?
