Contax g2 vs leica upgrade#

I shot 45 rolls of film on the trip and I can say that it is a rock solid camera and produces high quality slides. After a while, it became second nature to make sure it was on autofocus for ex&le before I shot. Last, it took me a while to get used to checking all the dials on the outside of the camera as I kept the camera in whatever bag was convenient and it would tend to change settings while in the bag and I was backpacking around. I plan to see if I can add a rubber eyepiece to the outside. Second, I wear glasses and in bright light it is difficult to see the information (focusing distance and exposure) inside the viewfinder. I looked high and low for a bag before getting this one. It is just as large as necessary and you can switch lenses with ease. If you go with the G2 and keep only a few lenses/film/and a flash, I would highly recommend getting the nylon camera bag that goes with the system. I have owned a Nikon FM2, a Minilux, and recently purchased the G2 with 28/45/90 lenses specifically to tour Europe for two months. Good luck with the quest - never been a better time to get a good deal on a G2, though - even new.

Contax g2 vs leica upgrade#

Not sure if the L has an integrated finder, but I'd upgrade to an R or R2 if it didn't (unless, like you, I had a preference for external finders, I guess). Personally, if I had already jumped into the Bessa range, I might grab a 35/1.7 and the 75mm lens and be done with it on the rangefinder side of things. It's not the best for glasses wearers, though. If you've got the SLR/medium format angles covered, the G2 is a nice piece of travel kit. Having said that, I can walk all day with a shoulder bag on with my G2, 21, 45, 90 combo and not complain about the weight (which I could never do with my SLR kit). The G2 isn't terribly lighter than an M3, it's got a solid, dense feeling (not the rock-like feel of an M3, but still.). it is comforting to know that if I ever get into taking my glasses off I can use the diopter adjustment, but I haven't gotten around to doing that yet (3 years into G2 use) so I wonder if I'll ever do so (I'll probably get contacts first). I wear glasses and have a G2 - the viewfinder is a little squinty, and I find I have to move my eye around at times to see the whole frame or the display.
