The CONTAX G Series
Tips, Winkles & Hacks...
MALIGNED, excoriated and generally sneered at by Leica fanatics and
misunderstood by muscle-bound SLR owners whose cameras are on anabolic steroids, the G2
stands supreme. My own Contax G2 kit, the best serious money I have ever spent on
camera gear - period, is a testament not only to the art and skill of a supreme
camera salesman who like a fisherman lured, teased, caught and finally drew in a not too
unwilling victim but also to a gorgeous partner who simple said "You deserve it, but
please don't point it at me".
There are however several cost effective improvements that may be
made to personalise any Contax G camera and its lenses. The following pages detail
those that I have done or thought about.
Have a look through this site, possibly pick up a few wheezes,
maybe even agree on a few points and enjoy with me my pleasure in taking photographs with
an exquisite though slightly modified camera.
