Contax G Green Label update

[Dez]

I have a lovely near-mint Contax G1, with 28, 45, and 90mm lenses, which I have had for years and can't remember the last time I used it, as I suffer from the problem, common on RFF, of having far too many cameras. In fact it has been so long that I never got the famous "green label" firmware update done on the camera body.

I plan to put the outfit up for sale, and as a convenience to potential buyers, I would like to get that update done. Can anyone direct me to someone who is still set up to do this mod? Preferably in Canada, but I suspect I can't be too picky.

Cheers,
Dez

Hi, Nick. No I had not seen it, so thanks so much for the link. I'll see what I can dig up.

Hopefully, I won't fall in love with the camera all over again. I have FAR too many cameras.

Apart for the Nikon DSLR and lenses that I use when I'm serious, I have fairly extensive systems in Leica TM, Leica M, Canon RF, Nikon RF, Contax (Zeiss, not Kyocera), Kodak Ektra, Exakta, Praktina, and Aires mounts. Not to mention all the various Russkiis. I have to avoid like the plague any initiative that might get me into another system.

Fortunately, my basic cheapness keeps me from buying any of the expensive fixed-lens digitals that seem to have become so popular lately.

Cheers,
Dez
