Contax G1 & G2 跟徠卡Leica M系列競爭而推出的G系列

Contax原為德國鏡頭界巨頭蔡司公司旗下的子公司,現作為京瓷Kyocera 旗下的康泰時Contax,跟徠卡Leica的M系列競爭而推出G系列。

Contax G1 

Contax G1是首部完全電子化的旁軸相機 Range Finder 不僅對焦、測光與快門皆為電子控制更搭載了劃時代的TTL閃光燈測光連動系統。除了相機本身的功能外,最重要是ContaxG系列都可以更換鏡頭,鏡頭選用母公司蔡司鏡頭,為這款相機增色不少。

Fun Fact: Contax 相機的設計是由蔡司負責鏡頭部分,機身由Yashica代工,而機身設計是由保時捷設計,由於二戰後大量日本相機品牌湧入市場,令當時的Contax因價格過高而損失競爭力,所以才找到雅西卡公司 (Yashica)合作,最後才誕生出Contax G系列。

Contax G2

Contax G2繼承了G1先進的電子式控制與自動對焦功能,且最高快門速度也由1/4000秒提升至1/6000秒,G2的觀景窗會隨著不同鏡頭,自動遮蓋框景視角,機身內建觀景窗對應的鏡頭焦段為28mm、35mm、45mm與90mm,可避免取景構圖時的誤差。

過片模式轉盤:可設定為單張(S)、低速連拍(CL)、高速連拍(CH)、倒數自拍與重覆曝光對焦模式選擇鈕:分別為連纘對焦(CAF),單次對焦(SAF),手動對焦(MF)
