My good friend Bert from Belgium came over this weekend with Kat and their little boy Dries. Was great to catch up and talk about stuff.
Contax G2 x3, Contax G2 Data Back x2, TLA-200 x1, G16 x1, G21 x1, G35 x1, G45 x2, G90 x1 and Contax T3 70yrs Limited Edition.
The magnificent Contax G2. While admittedly flawed, it is nevertheless a superbly built and sublimely beautiful camera. Plagued by tricky and noisy auto-focus (that's right, an auto focusing rangefinder), it supports what is perhaps the best, well-rounded lens lineup ever produced. This includes my all time favorite lens; the Biogon 21mm f/2.8. Shown here with (in addition to the 21) the Sonnar 90mm f/2, Planar 45mm f/2, Planar 35mm f/2, Biogon 28mm f/2.8, and the incredible Hologon 16mm f/8. One can only hope that in this day of EVIL cameras, some enterprising manufacturer will build an adapter with a motor that will mount these lenses and allow for auto-focus on a full frame chipped camera.
