Heads Up: Bargain Contax G 90mm f/2.8 - UK

[cidereye]

Just saw this absolute bargain on the LCE site for their Derby branch. Mint Contax G 90mm f/2.8 lens for the Contax G1 or G2 at a crazy £79.00 inc 6 month g'tee in their sale!!! 😱

Don't think I've ever seen a 90mm that cheap in the UK anywhere so a real bargain for somebody.

Yup, looks like a good buy at that price.

It's surprising though just how many of these lenses there are available used. Fffordes seem to have quite a few of them.

They're great portrait lenses. Don't believe all the hype about focussing issues either - I've never had any problems and use it very frequently.

I agree, took my first ever roll using this lens & G2 at an outdoor gig and did not have one single shot that was not sharp and focused.

I'm not saying that people don't have focus issues with this lens but I do feel more often than not it's users who simply do not fully understand how to use the AF on a G1/2 properly, I find using the rear button to lock AF on the G2 you really cannot go wrong - If you do it's *you* that focussed on the wrong subject point and not the camera! 😉 😀

Funny enough just bought a pristine 90mm 2.8 for £70 so I'm very happy, I think the supposed focusing issues associated with this lens are keepng the prices down
