What I love about the Contax T is its really compact design. The Contax T is more of a pocket rangefinder even though it can be faster to shoot than any autofocus camera if you’re using a simple but effective trick: Shooting at f/8 and align the zone focus green mark to get everything in focus from approximately 1.7 meter to infinity. The trade off is that it doesn’t have autofocus, like one would expect from a regular point & shoot. Thanks to a real rangefinder finder packed into a really compact camera, the T stands appart from its two younger siblings. ” faster to shoot than any autofocus camera “ It’s also more ergonomic and has a built-in rangefinder which is a considerable advantage over the Rollei. Size wise, it’s very similar to the Rollei 35 except there’s no outgrowth, knobs, flash mount or controls braking those elegant lines designed by Porsche Studio. With the lens cover closed, its sleek design makes it one of the best camera to slide in your jacket. When holding a Contax T for the first time, you’ll be amazed by its tiny size. It shoots in Aperture priority mode with shutter speed going from 8s up to 1/500th of a second.
Contax g2 vs t2 portable#
Initially aimed at wealthy photographers in quest of an ultra portable camera, it shined with an excellent build quality, premium materials, and most importantly fine Carl Zeiss glass.
Contax g2 vs t2 series#
You may be familiar with the T2 and T3 but the legendary T series began with, you guessed it, the first of its name: The Contax T. Between diapers and baby bottles, sacrifices needed to be made, so I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to test and review this tiny Contax T recently acquired. On top of that, it was the first travel with our newborn son, so you can imagine there was not much space left for my camera gear. Add an awful weather forecast during our entire stay and you have the perfect recipe to depress any photographer in dire need of outdoors and wandering. I expected that it wouldn’t be a regular holiday trip with visit and exploration as such. So back in October we travelled to Porto in Portugal to visit my wife’s relatives and introduce to the family the new On Film Only staff member. That’s why the Contax T was for me the perfect candidate to sit between the Rollei and my precious T3.
Contax g2 vs t2 manual#
Even though there is already both, a Rollei 35S and Contax T3 siting on my shelf, I was looking for a compact camera with an easy way to manual focus, preferably with Zeiss glass, and that I wouldn’t worry too much about, unlike the pricey T3 😅. In my quest of the most pocketable camera, without compromising on image quality, I’ve been lurking on the Contax T for a while.
