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.

checking in...... G2 + 28/35/45/90

Kind of ex. lei...
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.

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... Cheers!

[elixir]

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