I found a Contax G1 kit (G28+G45+G90,TTL flash, databack) for around $600. All in great condition. Is this a reasonable price? Thanks!
 
Is it a green label G1? Those are about $250ish on ebay in excellent condition. 28s are about $200 or so. 45s are about $150-190 in mint, 90s are available for $120 at B&H. The little flash is about $25. The databack is really just a date back. Add in a few bucks for original hoods.
 
Yes,it's green label

Definitely. Also you don't have to make several purchases to get all this stuff. I don't know how useful the databack is, but the rest is basically 'the kit'
 
You may be biased, but you aren't far from correct.

I paid 300 for my G1 + 45mm from KEH, bargain w/ LCD bleed. I other than a few cosmetic bits, in perfect working order. Based on that, yours is a great deal on the kit.

It's a good deal! I love my G1 sometimes even better than G2 which I sold. You would need a couple month to get used to it, but it totally worth it. Don't forget to join CONTAXG.COM there are so many talented photographers there@!

Good luck!
 
I paid $640 for a mint G1 [green label] with 28-45-90 in mint condition with filters and lens hoods.
 
I've been tempted to get a g1 kit several times as I imagine the image quality would be no worse than a m2 + color skopar, for about the same price. Also, can't beat Zeiss glass
 
Also keep in mind what people paid for them 10-15 years ago :) It's such a shame this company and camera family did not survive!
