I have a T2 that I carried with me before digital. On September 11, 2001 I worked in the building that is now the Google NYC Headquarters, my office windows looked out on with the World Trade Center.
I had several rolls of color negative with me and shot them all as the buildings burned and collapsed.
Seven months later I had the camera with me in the delivery room as my wife gave birth to our twins.
From witnessing the worst tragedy to the best moments of my life that Contax was there.
True story.
Woah i need to see the pic now pleasee
One twins collapse, and another born... Spectacular.. Is there any way where you can share the photos?
@@-shakir5152 of his wife giving birth?
@@kalebzamudio2298 what?
Can you share the photos
I feel like at this point the pool picture is just an inside joke for this channel. I laughed so hard when you climbed that fence for like the BILLIONTH time.
One day, there will be a statue of Jason striking his iconic "now imma climb this fence to shoot" powerstance.
i searched for this comment the second i saw him climbing
It's one of the earliest memories I have of this channel 😂
Baxter's Appearences:
-First 2:17
-Second 2:58
-Third 3:02
-Fourth 17:00
Thanks for the info!!
Username checks out
You pulled out a scented candle and everything, what a romantic
Yeah, I smelled it too.
Lenard Stipkovic bro i cant smell it i have covid what it smell like
Jason clearly still in denial that this is actually Baxter’s channel. It’s time to accept what has been true all these years my friend.
I needed to hear this
its all about barkster...it has to be.
You two need a collab! Pentax 6x7 BROS
You should try the “Shoot Portra at Box Speed” challenge next!
Or the 'go on holiday without needing a liver transplant' challenge
@@vikmanphotography7984 sounds about right
agreed, it is almost painful!
Another day, another stop at that pool
Jason: putting some HP5 in his camera
Also Jason: getting up at 5:30 AM to see the colorful sunrise and shoot it in black and white
Joke aside, great new video!
i had the same thought haha
Lmao for real
Is it just me or does the rollie 35 feel like the precursor to the contax
the compositions of all your pictures are just great. love them all
Thanksgiving was going to suck as usual this year, but then you shared a video and my day turned from sorrow to joy. Thanks Jason!
Concerning the T2's inability to directly select its 2.8 aperture in aperture preferred metering mode: As noted in the video, apertures of 4.0 or smaller can be directly selected with the camera then selecting the shutter speed. If you select the 2.8 aperture, the camera switches to program mode and then selects both aperture and speed per its auto-exposure program. First, the program mode selects 2.8 until the light is so bright that its fastest shutter speed would still over-expose, then it starts reducing aperture to maintain exposure, so you usually getting 2.8 until it is no longer workable. Additionally, you can lock the aperture at 2.8 by selecting a flash mode. In daylight, the flash output is so whimpy that it will usually have no effect on overall exposure, and the metering will still select a good shutter speed, in effect trying to "fill flash" a daylight exposure balance.
Just discovered this channel. I laughed. Like actually, with real noise and everything. Thanks I love it here.
I'm happy every time that depressed Ryan Gosling uploads a video. :)
I click for the photography, but I stay for the humor. Dude is hilarious!
Just a great video! I discovered your channel recently and I am impressed, well informed, entertained and inspired! Keep going!
Great great pictures! You were killing it with those early morning ones especially!
I also took mine out in a rainy day in Canada... thought it was toast, but took the battery out and let it sit for awhile. Been fine ever since.
Came from recommended section and you got a new sub :D
Loved the humor and the technical knowledge
I had one of these when they first came out and it was one of the best cameras I've ever owned. Really is a great lens.
Great review and amazing photos Jason!
Fab review - liked the outdoor session in Utah. Way to do such reviews dude!
I've been waiting for this video!! YAS! 👏
"The best p&s camera you'll always try to justify buying"... you just perfectly described by last two months
What a majestic landscape!
The B&W photos are 🔥
Thanks for your review !
always enjoying your videos. Thanks!
Your videos deliver a vibe!! Great
So thankful for this channel
your style is impeccable
Dude you’re mullet is gorgeous. Makes me wish I still has mine
Happy Thanksgiving Jason. Hope you have a semi-ok, passive aggressive, monotone sarcasm filled day.
I still don’t think I need any other 35mm camera than my AE-1, but I must admit that Contax T2 is beautiful
I’m a sucker for the T2 but I can’t justify spending 600-700 for a point and shoot when I can just buy a medium format camera, I went with it’s cheaper sibling the contax TVS it looks amazing
@@AK46_ where the hell are you guys finding them for 6-700? All I can find are *MINT CONDITION* *FROM JAPAN* for like 3000
@@fakename287 and they’re about to go up again since Kendall Jenner brought the damn camera with her to met gala these past days
The Contax TVS is a great alternative and very underrated. I got both and while I prefer the T2 because of the extra stop of light and its sexynes, the TVS is worth every dime
just bought an Olympus XA2 to carry it in my pocket around Milan. It's my third film camera since August and yes, it's GAS baby!
Lost it at the cake meme
your videos reminds me - why i love photography
when he cut the contax t2 cake, I'm like thats it have my like
Best Contax T2 review with a twist of humour. Keep up the good work mate!
You had me dying. Such a great review
my girlfriend owns a t2 and I own a Nikon 35ti and I must say I am highly impressed at your ability to load film on the t2 with only one hand
We all came for a brief glimpse of Baxter. Let's not kid ourselves.
I couldn't stop watching that. That was fun.
Liking cause of your sense of humor, I love it
Well that made me smile on a completely crummy day, thanks.
Great review. You can almost feel the prices rising again.
Some other excellent alternatives to this camera (same or lower price) are: Minolta TC-1, Olympus mju-II, Obviously the Yashica (t4/t5/super), Rollei 35s, Contax TVS, Fuji Klasse, Leica C1, and the Rollei AFM35
Ricoh gr1 also
@@amitdavidov9142 Sadly I can not recommend the Ricoh series. They are extremely prone to fail and have LCD problems, and there’s virtually no shop in the world that can work on them anymore since their specific spare parts are very, very hard to find. All the cameras mentioned above will have similar issues, but after much research I found you can repair most of them and all of those models have much better and solid builds than the Ricoh.
Nikon 35ti anyone?
@@itsjustpizza Yep that one too
Leica Minilux is also pretty darn great, but obviously I am biased since I own one. The ability to use the 40mm f 2.4 actually in f 2.4 in aperture priority is pretty great advantage over the contax t2. And the lens is actually pretty sharp and has super nice circular bokeh.
mmmmmmmm some amazing photos in this vid!
Love your videos! Love from Ecuador 🇪🇨
Funny I was just thinking of you in a non creepy way 😂😂 by far favorite film camera channel.
Best $5 thrift store purchase I have ever made.
Just waiting for the day someone is selling one who doesn’t know what the internet is.
Facebook marketplace is good for that and stolen items so be cautious for obviously stolen gear
Another absolute banger of an episode!! That camp site is absolutely unreal!
Great video and such nice photos!👌🏽
the mask / mullet combo goes hard
Thank you, Jason.
Why doesn't anyone ever mention the original Olympus XA as a great point and shoot option? It's super compact, shoots in aperture priority, has ISO selection, manual focus, +1.5 exposure compensation (though you can always change the ISO mid-role to compensate to whatever you want), and a super sharp f2.8 35mm lens. Oh, and it's like $80. Seriously underrated camera.
because its a rangefinder
I love my T2... got it before that price hike and I'll never sell it! Goes everywhere with me
Ironically, Kendall Jenner's value has been steadily going down since her appearance on Jimmy Fallon's show.
isn't she one of the highest paid models in the world rn?
It's not her.. it's being on Fallon that will drop your popularity. Kendall is pretty cool.
@@Keepitdead lmao imagine thinking "value" is based solely on your salary
@@gewglesux can you explain to me why going on Fallon it decreases your popularity?
@@lizalvarez428 Because he's just not a very funny person.. He's quite fake and if you can believe it or not he's less on funny now than he was SNL.
the best youtuber ever
Wow dude, these pictures are awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😳
I was able to get the gold collectors edition at 12:56 for like $950 two years ago and it’s one of my favorite cameras I’ve ever owned
Another alternative that no one ever talks about, but has also become equally as pricey is the Klasse W. It has a super sharp f2.8 28mm (!) lens, manual iso selection (& DX), 1/1000th shutter speed & great ergonomics.
Your videos are funny as hell man!
Very versatile camera. Kudos to you. After this, there is no way I can muster over $1K to buy it.
"This is my channel. This isn't his channel" Keep telling yourself that man.
I owned two T4s, but sold both. They were great but I just never used them, which is what I think would happen with a T2. Yet, I'm tempted.
I don't think I have seen a comment talking about how good the VFX for the cake cutting intro is.
Great camera. Bought one for $200 off Craigslist a few years ago, but eventually sold it to get funds for a rangefinder. If anyone's on the fence about getting one, look up the original Contax T (same lens, no autofocus, weird door hinge contraption on the front).
The Yashica T5 is a great little camera, I had one back in the 90s. If you don't need/want autofocus, the Olympus XA is hard to beat. Super compact and very well-designed little rangefinder camera. Make sure you get one where the film transport works, though. But last I checked, those were a lot less overhyped and overpriced than the T2.
I've had one of these since it came out. I had a G1 and a T2. I sold the G1 and don't regret that, but kept the T2. There is something 'right' about the design.
thumbs uo for Grainydays, i have a cheapo alternative to my Contax that i take along to parties : the Yashica T3.
the joke
the cake
the pro mist filter
owww i love this chanel
your videos are really fun to watch, new sub
Oh great! Baxter's channel is finally reviewing the Contax T2
Wow it's so clear
A few years ago I got a Brand new Contax N1 with the Kit lens when B&H was getting rid of all the analog stuff, damn it i got the wrong Contax lol.
I remember looking at a T2 three years ago, and I couldn't justify spending $230 on a point and shoot, fastforward to now and I am kicking myself quite a bit, but I picked up the Kyorcera TD and that has a Zeiss 35mm 3.5 and it only cost me $70 so I think I'm doing ok. Also I enjoy my Olympus Stylus and XA so my compact needs are well covered, I even picked up a Rollei 35 B. Also Baxter doesn't need to take your channel if he is obviously your overlord.
At last after all this years (just 1 year).
Now you have a review at last of this luxurios camera just like the Nikon F6.
And also to those who comments Baxter is the main character ( i dont know if this dog have a certain charateristics , we don't know if one day his an alien disguised as a dog and annihilates us).
I agree.
great video, however, my Olympus Stylus 120 which took a swim on the Galveston, TX beach humbly smirks and chuckles.
Nice review, thanks. All things considered, I think I'll keep my Konica Big Mini.
that cake is awesone
I really enjoyed this video
By most of the measures being considered, a superior purchase would be a Konica Hxar AF. Better lens, better user controls, but a bit larger too. Unhappily, it costs a lot more these days than in the past but still about 35% less than the T2. If you want to go maximum imaging with full user control, find a really nice Rollei 35SE for about 40% the cost of the T2. In the mean time, I'll hold on to my T2.
This camara is totaly different beast when you use quality lab and quality scans. Still cool results with a flatbed.
u should check out the nikon L35AF. i had that camera for about a year and it’s been amazing
I got the standard champagne colored one complete in the box with a spare data back for 260$ in late 2015. Now it’s silly how much these go for, it’s a banger tho.
I've been using a Minox 35EL as a tiny point and shoot. Literally pocketable.
Also love how at 12:11 he’s takes a photo in landscape and than a portrait appears on screen
This man just contributed to the want/overpricing of this camera!
contax g1 is still cheap
best review. great story. cool life
Went with a TVS because the all the Ts are too ridiculously priced. Love it and the zoom is always handy but it does get annoying with the slower apertures
I do like your choice of bourbon...convinces me you're a man of distinction.
Very nice content m8!! 👍👍👍 what do you think of the lens on the t2 ? How the lens perform compare to lenses on other non point and shoot camera?
I used to have one one of these contax compact cameras few years ago and the flash stopped working because it picked up a DUST inside and to got it fixed in London would had cost me over £100.00 or so and it had to be SENT out of Uk to Germany so I decided I get ride of this camera
That shot at 16:16 is low key a banger🔥
T2 was too heavy to carry around the whole time, which is what I wanted it for. Just picked up a T3 which is compact, beautiful and you can select f2.8, but it's even more crazy expensive and I'm shit shared to take it outside.
3:14 love that shot!
omg the meme cracks me up but most importantly the it drives me to keep shooting again!
Epic Bromance Adventure! :-)
havent came this fast since my girlfriend left me
