The Contax G1 is a premium 35mm autofocus rangefinder-style camera, designed with professional-level optics and electronics in a sleek, compact form. Paired here with the legendary Carl Zeiss 28mm f/2.8 Biogon T* lens, this kit offers exceptional image quality with a wide-angle perspective that’s perfect for street, travel, landscape, and documentary photography.
The G1 was one of the first autofocus rangefinder-style cameras to deliver true Zeiss optics in an electronically controlled, motor-driven body. With aperture-priority exposure, precise manual override options, and a titanium build, it remains a cult favorite among serious film photographers.

Why You Want This Camera:
The Contax G1 system delivers unmatched Zeiss sharpness and color in a sleek, travel-friendly package. The 28mm Biogon is regarded as one of the sharpest lenses in the entire G system—razor sharp corner to corner, even wide open. Combined with the G1’s fast, precise autofocus and auto exposure, it’s a dream setup for street and travel shooters who want compactness without compromise.
Unlike most rangefinders, the G1 features motorized film advance and rewind, a built-in viewfinder with parallax correction, and support for TTL flash—all in a body that feels as premium as it performs.

I ordered a Contax G1 with a 28mm lens. The camera was in great condition as advertised and came in so quick! The price was also great, which in turn made me return for film development.
