Contax G2 and Sausage Fest 2009!!!

[sherm]

Spent some quality time with friends this weekend making venison sausage that we've done for the last seven years. My family has been doing this since they came imigrated from Europe so it's kind of a tradition.

Long story short, I had the terrible experience of having had our house broken into last week with all of my camera equipment being stolen.... or so I thought. Lo and behold I found one camera kit that wasn't, my Contax G2. I guess it's true what they say,"something good can come from something bad".

When I got the photos back yesterday I couldn't believe it! The quality of the Zeiss lenses and this camera is everything and more. Out of necessity I've been reunited with an "old friend". Now I know why I made this my first RF camera 5 years ago!!.

Granted, the pictures aren't artistic by a long shot, but the image quality the lenses sure is...... in my opinion anyway 🙂

Let's see some more..... show us your G2 or G1 shots if you've got 'em!!!

What a testimonial! I hope you have thanked your lucky star, eh, the burglar crew ...

I left a Nikon F100 set behind 2+ years ago and have not looked back. Ah, those Zeiss G lenses. To master the G2 took a while, but I am an expert now with setting focus manually etc etc.

I am soon going to own a G1 with three lenses, and after that, I will endulge into Zeiss Heaven.

The lenses may be excellent but this is not an RF camera.

Anyway, the pics made me hungry!

But you're right about the sausage... it's really good.

My g2 has a sausage fest when the 90 in on it. ha ha ha ha! Oh?! and yes it is a range finder just not in the classical sense. Great photos good the see you got reaquainted with your camera thru not so good circumstances.

Pablito, you have the right to define "rangefinder camera", have you? How come.

Actually all auto focus cameras are a type of range finder. In the traditional sense mechanical, non traditional thru the use of electronics. Heck even my old kodak with no mechanical type of rangefinder is, but it requires me to find the range of focus.

🙂 Sorry I went off topic. Again great photos. From you non-mechanical yet fully electronic range finding G2
