Hi all,

I am curious what kind of shutter release do these new-ish Contaxes have.

I am assuming that the shutter release is completely electronic, that the shutter release is a switch that triggers solenoids that motivate the shutter.

Am I wrong?

You are not wrong. The shutter is electonically controlled, with a DC motor running the shutter vertically. I'm speaking of the G2.
