#Contax g2 vs g1 series

This is usually because I'm always looking to try new cameras and systems, and because I feel little to no connection to any of the digital cameras I've used in the past.

If you've known me for a while, you also know that I have a terrible habit of switching personal cameras every couple of months. The G2 has a dedicated AF mode selector for Single or Continuous AF. I grew too dependent on the instant reassurance spoon-fed to me by digital cameras. The G2 has a dedicated wheel to set the film advance mode, compared to a button on the G1.

I would never use a film camera alone, as I always worried that it would somehow fail and I'd end up with a series of black images where I expected precious memories. To capture images with the slight uncertainty of film in a day and age where patience is becoming obsolete requires a lot of trust in your camera, and I think that's the main thing that kept holding me back from film prior to the G1. In the age of digital, we're used to the immediate gratification of reviewing an image as soon as we take it (a habit called 'chimping', as the posture one makes to do so is slouched and well, chimp-like). I did try a 28mm but found it was really too wide for my work and the 35 has long been my favorite lens for street work. It is remarkable and has a crisp, classic look that I enjoy. People often attribute to cameras aspects that are arguably not actually there that the camera helps them to see differently and. In a similar way I would say that the Sony RX1R is a Contax G2 gone complicated. The original Leica Monochrom is often treated like a film camera gone awry. In the Contax G2 area of, Ive seen one or two thumbs down on this lens. For the Sony RX1R the parallel is the Contax G2. As many of you know, film is unique in that you're unable to see the images you take until you finish the roll and get it developed. Contax Zeiss Planar 45mm (for G1/G2) OVERALL.
