Contax G2 with 45mm f/2 Lens

The Contax G2 is part of Cute Camera Co. Reserve, our collection of exceptional film cameras individually prepared for their next owner. Once your order is placed, we carefully select your Contax G2 from our reserve inventory and begin its final restoration. Cleaning, inspecting, testing, and servicing the camera and lens together before sending them home to you.

Introduced in 1996 as the successor to the Contax G1, the Contax G2 combines a beautifully finished titanium-clad exterior, sophisticated autofocus, automatic film handling, and interchangeable Carl Zeiss lenses in one remarkably elegant 35mm film camera.

At the heart of this Contax G2 is the included Carl Zeiss Planar T* 45mm f/2 lens. Its natural perspective is perfect for the memories you’ll want to make most: friends around the dinner table, afternoons somewhere new, spontaneous portraits, city streets, and all the quiet little details in between.

The 45mm lens creates wonderfully sharp photographs with rich contrast, beautiful color, and a dimensional quality that makes your subject feel almost touchable. Its bright f/2 aperture also lets in plenty of light and can create soft, dreamy backgrounds when you want the person in front of you to feel like the only person in the world.
