• Im looking to upgrade from my OM10 film camera to something that a bit better, something a bit more powerful that gives a higher quality, sharper photo when I print picture bigger than 8x10" etc.

    Been looking at a Contax G1. Any one got any experience with these or any other suggestions?

  • I used a G2 and various lenses for years. Was completely bomb-proof and took the sharpest images I’ve ever got from any film camera (Leica M6ttl/summicron 50, Rolleiflex F2.8 Planar). The Zeiss lenses are extraordinary, particularly the 45 and 90 for portraits. The wides are beautiful too, but quite niche.

    I know they are not now repairable but they are built like tanks!

    If I was still shooting 35mm I would buy another in an instant. Just my tuppence-worth!
