The addition of a thumb rest and small grip really enables you to get a grip over the camera, rather than it feeling like a slippery metal bar of soap.

Contax G2Įrgonomically, the Contax G2 feels great in your hand. The Contax G2 would act as my daily analogue camera in the same way as the M6, but in addition, and unlike the M6 had the extra capability of a “usable” flash sync with my studio equipment.Īnyway below is a very brief synopsis of my findings. It replaced my Lecia M6. I appreciate that may sound like blasphemy to some of you, and that by admitting to this a mob armed with pitchforks and torches running to my house as we speak but there was a purpose to this. It was in great condition apart from some LCD leak situated in shutter counter (a common problem). I purchased the Contax G2 from our friendly Japan Camera Hunter. I generally work with model agencies and various other creative folk supplementing my digital work with polaroids and film. Hello, my name is Adam and I’m predominantly a portrait photographer. Anyway I guess I should start at the beginning. I subsequently got somewhat side-tracked with the joys of editing, and then sold the camera in question (more on that later), which made me ponder if I should even submit my musings at all. Morning all, I hope this finds you well with a hot beverage and ideally a biscuit nearby (I’m rather partial to a bourbon myself).Īfter speaking with Hamish about an advance compact a month or so ago I agreed to submit my thoughts in relation to the shiny Contax G2.
