CONTAX G2 KIT FULL

Contax was a high end brand in the 1990s. I should also make it clearвЂ¦ these are not cheap, plasticky, toss-it-in-your-beach-bag compact cameras. If you think this is insane, you are correct. A T2 goes for around the same, and a T3 for even more! The current auction price on eBay is ~в‚¬1.5k.

It is hard to get historical pricing data for these cameras in the second hand market, but the King of Velvia does mention that in 2009 it was possible to buy the full G2 kit for one tenth the price of a new Leica system, so I am guessing around в‚¬500. I am adamantly not a fan of his website, however it does have archival value. Of course Ken Rockwell also claims the G2 is the best camera in the world, but I do not want to overstate his influence on the situation. The Olympus Mju-ii and various Yashica T cameras may fetch a few hundred euro, but these two Contaxes regularly exchange hands for north of в‚¬1k. These two cameras can generally be considered as вЂњpeakвЂќ compact bubble. Richard Gere and Emily Blunt have been photographed with their Contax G2вЂ™s, while Kendall Jenner, Chris Helmsworth, and Milla Jovovich prefer the more pocketable T2 or T3. Some of this is driven by analogue nostalgia, helped by filters on Instagram and VSCO, and some is driven by celebrity influence. In the last seven to ten years this has seen a steep rise in prices of some previously bargain-basket cameras. FYI, there are screenshots of eBay listings in this article, they are not ads!Д¬ompact and Point-and-Shoot film cameras are experiencing what some would call a boom and some would call a bubble.
