Thank you so much! I recently bought a Mamiya 645-it's a dream camera, but it's too heavy to carry everywhere and more expensive to shoot with. While the Mamiya 7 is my dream medium format camera, it costs twice as much as the Contax and only allows 10 shots per roll. Since I'm still learning film photography, I chose the Contax G2. Though I called it my dream film camera in the title for brevity, it's more accurately my dream 35mm camera. The Mamiya 7 remains my dream medium format camera-hopefully one day! What’s yours? Thank you again!
@@martinadesantisphoto I am surprised the Mamiya is more than the Contax. I could go to KEH and probably find a whole setup less than a $1000 . My rolleicord TLR was $175. I have so many cameras. They were either given to me or I paid less than $25 for them.
I think that you need to work on your focusing technique with the G2, try locking the focus and reframing the image with the focus lock held, the camera only has a centre weighted metering system which can be fooled in some lighting conditions, some of the exposure were off I thought, you have to work out when the camera metering may not give the correct reading and either use exposure compensation of bracket you exposures.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful feedback! I completely agree about the focusing technique with the G2 - it's definitely something I'm actively working on improving. I've been practicing with the rolls I am currently shooting. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise!
I used both g1 and g2 in the early 2000s. Great travel cameras and probably I took my favourite pictures with them and Velvia slide film. For me those days are gone now and it's 95% digital workflow from now on. I miss the G-line optics till this day.

Ah, the G2. I wish mine were working. Lovely photos, BTW.
Really nice photography , thank you for sharing & merry Christmas :)
Thank you so much! Happy holidays and merry Christmas ☺️
You made my day..... 🥰🥰🥰
You are so kind 💗 you made mine!
Nice photos. Congrats on the Contax. Too expensive for me and I do not like rangefinders. I'd rather spend that on a nice medium format film camera.

Hope it lasts a long time, but no fixing the electronics in those if it breaks.
Just be Careful loafing film 😮
Don’t let the leader touch the shutter.
Enjoy
Thank you for the tip! I will! 😊
