The Contax T2 is THAT GIRL

I opted for the Contax T2, for a few reasons. Two main things I was looking for when searching for a film camera was auto focus and something that wasn’t too big. I really wanted to step into film photography with a point and shoot. The Contax T2 was that for me.
Here are some base line tech specs for the Contax T2:
• Film 35mm (135 cartridge)
• DX ISO 25 - 5000 Non-DX (default ISO 100)
• Exposure Compensation +/-2 EV in 1/2 EV steps
• Flash Built-in
• Battery 1 x 3V CR123 or equivalent
• Shutter speed: 1/500-8 seconds
• Aperture: f/2.8-f/16
• Carl Zeiss 38mm lens

Finally, someone who made a video not subliminally bashing the camera. I have it myself and dont regret the investment, truly a goat for point and shoots and must-have in the kit. Loved this video keep up the rad content girly!!!

So I totally get that you’re still fairly new with film and such, but just wanted to give you a heads up on something you mentioned in your video. Pushing/pulling film with the dial on the t2 doesn’t work in the same way a digital cameras exposure compensation dial does. +1/+2/etc would be tricking your camera into thinking it has a 1 or 2 stop higher film stock in it, so Portra 800 with +1 would be telling your t2 that you have 1600 film, which would change your settings to DARKEN the image to account for the higher “iso” film. So when you shoot at +1 you are actually underexposing your image. Then the pushing/pulling terms don’t come in until the developing stage of film where if you tell the lab you pushed +1 stop, they would develop the film longer which would brighten the image a stop to account for the 1 stop underexposed image taken, which would give you a final image that is properly exposed at “0”.
So, if you want to overexpose your image, like overexposing portra 800 +1 stop, you would actually need to change the dial on the t2 to -1 so that it thinks it has 400speed film so the camera will brighten the overall image to compensate, and then tell the lab to develop at regular speed (800) and not to push or pull it so that way the actual final image will be overexposed.
Just FYI I know it’s kinda confusing and totally backwards to what you would be used to with digital cameras 🙂 hope this helps if you were trying to overexpose your portra and it was coming out properly or underexposed instead 🙂

How is the AF for you? I’ve moved to a Yashica T4 / Olympus MJU II bc I get so many out of focus images with the T2. Too often I feel like i nailed the shot only to see a completely out of focus image when I get the scans back
