Subject: [OM] OT - Contax G2?
Off topic: has anyone experience of the G2? I am interested in
autofocus without going wunderbrick to complement my OM system.
They're great cameras. I want one.

Go over toe photo=2Enet and search for threads on the G2=2E It's quirky c=
amera
and many people don't like it after extensive use=2E But it takes
exceptional pictures=2E
Summary? It's an interchangable lens, point-and-shoot=2E The lens are
fabulous=2E The AF is a bit noisy, the viewfinder is a bit dim=2E MF is =
only
possible with focus-by-wire, no focusing with the lenses directly=2E =20
I prefer a Contax T2 as a take-everywhere camera=2E
Search on Google for Contax, G2, Leica, Review, Opinion and combinations o=
f
those words=2E

I still want a G2.. I think they are beautiful cameras....a
friend/high school classmate has one and really likes it. Plus the
lenses for it are quite reasonable compared to Leica lenses, and
those Zeiss T* lenses are quite exceptional.
Oh, and the Contax T2 is no longer available....it's been replaced
with the newer T3 (I have one and LOVE it-it goes with me everywhere
at all times). I am waiting for the new Contax TVS Digital to show
up...just think, the equivalent of a T3 as a digital! (oh yeah!).
