I used a Contax T3 and took 2 or 3 rolls and then sold it back in 2001 for $450. It took me by surprise how much it cost now! Last month I was able to find a Contax G2, TLA 200 flash and a 45mm f/2 all black for US $400 plus taxes!!!! I’m more a Nikon user and I have both a Nikon FM2n manual and a Nikon DF digital one. My lenses are 14mm, 20mm, 60mm Micro, 105mm Micro and nd a 80-200mm Zoom all f/2.8 D plus a 35mm f2 D, a 85mm f/1.8 D. I do not take as many pics I used to, but watching your video doing street photography, I want to do it again. 😅
Thank you so much for the detailed comment! 😊 Knowing that you sold your Contax T3 back in 2001 makes me a bit jealous-how I wish I had one during those golden days! Anyway, the price you found the Contax G2, TLA 200 flash, and 45mm f/2 for is a steal! I paid 2000 euros just for the camera and two lenses and traded in my Canon AE-1. I’ve been dreaming about finding a TLA 200 too, literally dreamt about it last night! It’s so hard to find in good condition, but I’m not giving up hope. 😅 I’m so glad to hear that my video inspired you to pick up your camera again! That makes me so happy, and I hope it brings you the same joy it brings me. Happy shooting! 😊
Oh wow! Thank you for sharing! I wish I had known too! I've been religiously checking the prices and offers for this camera since 2020. Over the past four years, I've watched the price increase, but it took me a long time to save up and finally take the leap to invest in it. I paid €2100 from a professional seller. I know you can potentially pay less buying from Japan, but I haven't had good experiences with that in the past. I prefer to buy locally so I can inspect the camera beforehand. I agree, it's a beautiful camera and the lenses are fantastic! Thank you so much again!
I feel you Emma. Check their eBay account or website-the store is called Dotti Fotografia, and you'll find their store link in the video description. If you're in the US, I recommend checking KEH Camera. I know these are hard to find in good condition, but don't give up! Contact them directly and ask them to notify you when one becomes available.
Seeing you use a coffee machine and not a Moka makes me cringe. North Italians do very strange things from Romans (where I live). BUT very glad that you are enjoying your Contax G2.
I actually prefer American coffee to Moka - I know, I know, not very Italian of me! But I believe in enjoying what you love rather than following stereotypes. Thank you for your comment about the Contax G2, and I hope you continue enjoying the videos and photos!
Mi dispiace per le tue foto ma non prendertela troppo con te stessa. Questi sono gli errori che ci aiutano a migliorare. Io ancora non ho avuto il coraggio di sviluppare i rullini in casa. A malapena so aprire un rullino quando c’è la luce figuriamoci se devo farlo senza luce 💀
Ahah! Grazie mille per questo commento, mi ha fatto molto piacere! Come hai visto nel video io devo ancora prenderci la mano infatti mi sono tagliata un dito ahah! Hai ragione comunque! C’è moltissimo da imparare e la pazienza è un requisito fondamentale, armiamocene ☺️ Grazie ancora!
I went to Lake Garda last summer and shot about 4 rolls..it was so beautiful
I’m so glad to hear that! I would LOVE to see the photos!!! Do you happen to have a link to share? 😍

Appreciate the realness, Martina! Enjoy the new dream camera :) Can't wait to see more
Thanks so much, Elise!🩷 I've already developed the first roll and can't wait to share the scans soon. PS Your support means everything!
I thought about buying a second hand G2 back in 2008 but balked at the $500 price - I wish I'd known! Beautiful Camera and lenses - Congrats.
