Every Contax camera listed in our shop goes through a strict multi-point technical inspection. Our team checks the shutter speed accuracy, lens element clarity, light meter calibration, flash functionality, and motorized film transport. Crucially, we rigorously test the delicate internal electronics and flexible circuit boards the most common failure points in vintage electronic cameras to ensure absolute reliability.

Because Contax cameras rely on vintage electronic components, we protect your investment with a comprehensive 2-month store warranty. This covers any unforeseen mechanical faults or electronic failures that occur during normal, recommended use. If a component malfunctions within your warranty window, our team will handle the repair, replacement, or issue a store credit.

Models like the Contax T2, T3, G1, and G2 are highly sought-after cultural icons with a finite global supply. Because we refuse to sell unverified or poorly maintained gear, sourcing pieces that meet our strict aesthetic and mechanical standards takes time. If a model you want is sold out, we highly recommend signing up for our email restock alerts on the product page to be notified the moment a newly certified unit drops.

While both are incredible electronic 35mm rangefinders utilizing Carl Zeiss interchangeable lenses, the Contax G2 is the upgraded successor. The G2 features a significantly faster and more advanced autofocus system (combining active infrared and passive electronic focus), a higher top shutter speed of $1/4000$s (or $1/6000$s in aperture priority), and a more ergonomic layout. The G1 remains a highly capable, more compact, and budget-friendly entry point into the G-system.

Yes, we ship premium analog gear worldwide from our base in Amsterdam. Given the rare and fragile nature of vintage Contax electronics, we use heavy-duty, double-walled boxes, premium shock-absorbing wrap, and fully tracked, insured courier services. Your camera is completely protected from the moment it leaves our shop to the second it arrives at your door.
