My "new" Contax T vs

G2? No, I don't need it

Nice. I think your photos look great. They look plenty sharp to me.

Thank you J.B.
Every time I buy something there is someone ready to explain me what I should have bought, instead. I think there is nothing wrong in that camera, I know G-lenses (or Leica) are better, but what I wanted was a pocketable camera, with a little zoom, and some manual options. The little Tvs gives me all I asked, plus a lens that sits on the top of the "compact zooms parade", being able to create clean and sharp pictures. If I want an "almost pocketable" camera, I have my Bessa R and my beautiful russian rangefinders.

Ciao
Franco

Unless you got an amazing scanner you're not really going to get much sharper scans than that anyways I think.. nice shots, I think they look great.

I find the lens to be quite good. I love the colours I get from the Zeiss.

The Contax Tvs sits at the top of the compact zooms parade IMO too. The results are great, so are the ergonomics, and it feels really solid and well-built. I really like the manuall zoom control.
The Rollei AFM35 is my favourite fixed lens compact auto camera. (Don't want to spend so much for a Leica CM or Contax Tlll.)
The Hexar AF is not what I'd call a compact and is at the top of a class by itself.
