It came with the G2 I bought. I like it. Framing in the viewfinder is dead on. TLA200 doesn't work well with it at wide angles however. Just some snapshots to show from election night test roll.

Looks damn sharp! Have you tried to set the flash to the 35mm setting for wide angles?

I don't remember if it came w/1 when sold new, but I use the GG-1 for mine (bought used).

GG-1 is good (the one that goes on the 28mm Biogon). I found that the GG-2 interferes with close focus on the Vario-Sonnar.

Yes ,I thought as much.I have a GG-1.How sharp do you guys think the lens is;does it compare with the 35 or 45? I have all the G lenses with the exception of this one and the 16mm.

...hoping to resurrect this old thread. 🙄
Does anyone have further opinions of the Contax G 35-70mm 3.5-5.6 Vario-Sonnar lens?
It's pricey, slow, and I have Googled some discouraging words about it...but the zoom range looks great to me.
Any more thoughts? (...please)

It is what it is: a slow, sharp zoom. As w/most zooms, if having the convenience of being able to quickly change focal lengths outweighs the inconvenience of losing lens speed, then it could be the lens for you.
