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. In fact, its technological ethos employs certain tricks that are outright heresy to diehard fans of the classic rangefinder it runs on batteries, its manual focus mode is terrible, and its viewfinder lacks frame lines and a focusing patch. The Contax G2 is like no other rangefinder on Earth.
