Contax G2 Review – Autofocusing Rangefinder Brilliance!

August 29, 2015 by mspau 12 Comments

I wish Contax was still making cameras. Every one that I have had a chance to handle was a pure joy. The Contax G2 is a fascinating little unit – an autofocusing rangefinder! The word “unique” gets bandied around a lot by people who have a limited grasp of it’s definition : unique juːˈniːk/Submit adjective […]

MSP Back Catalogue Retrospective Day 6⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I was on a bit of learning phase on silhouettes, shadows, and backgrounds on this trip to Japan. I love the mix of all three elements in this image. Maybe moving the subject to the left of centre would make it a more dynamic image?⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Geek Details⠀⠀ Mamiya 7ii - 43mm Lens - HP5 iso400⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #mamiya7ii #mamiya7⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ From the Melbourne Street Photography Blog www.mellbournestreetphotography.com.au ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #melbournestreets #melbournestreetphotography #melbournestreetphoto ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #streetphotography #streetphoto #streetview #streetportrait #streetphotographers #ig_street⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #film #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #ishootfilm #analogue #filmcamera #believeinfilm #blackandwhite #filmfeed #analogphotography #photography #shootfilm #buyfilmnotmegapixels #staybrokeshootfilm #filmphoto ⠀⠀ Japan Street Photography 2016. #japanstreetphotography #tokyostreetphoto #tokyo #tokyostreetphotography
MSP's Back Catalogue Retrospective Day 5 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Classic neighbourhood cafe near Shimbashi Station. It's weird, but smoking in restaurants and bars in Japan doesn't bother me for some reason... but light up within 50 metres of a restaurant where I am eating in Melbourne and I will crack it... ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I love Sumiyaki and Yakitori so much that I bought a grill and Japanese Charcoal for home! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Shot on a pocketable compact camera - perfect for quick shots on the fly... I wish they still made the Ricoh GR film range!!!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Geek Details :⠀⠀ Ricoh GR1V - 28mm Lens - HP5 iso 400⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ From the Melbourne Street Photography Blog www.mellbournestreetphotography.com.au ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #melbournestreets #melbournestreetphotography #melbournestreetphoto ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #streetphotography #streetphoto #streetview #streetportrait #streetphotographers #ig_street⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #film #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #ishootfilm #analogue #filmcamera #believeinfilm #blackandwhite #filmfeed #analogphotography #photography #shootfilm #buyfilmnotmegapixels #staybrokeshootfilm #bw #filmphoto ⠀⠀ Japan Street Photography 2016. #japanstreetphotography #tokyostreetphoto #tokyo #tokyostreetphotography
MSP's Back Catalogue Retrospective Day 4⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The basement at Design Sight 21_21 gallery in Tokyo. Was lucky to catch a Frank Gehry exhibition on a trip to Japan. Seeing Gehry's models and thought process was amazing when compared to how the final buildings turned out. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ http://www.2121designsight.jp/en/⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ When shooting an image at a gallery, it is critical to not just frame someone else's work. The photographer needs to add something to the shot. I think this image achieved this... Light and shade is always your friend in BW photography!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Geek Details :⠀⠀ Leica M7 - 35mm Lens - HP5 shot at iso800⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #leicam7 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ From the Melbourne Street Photography Blog www.mellbournestreetphotography.com.au ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #melbournestreets #melbournestreetphotography #melbournestreetphoto ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #streetphotography #streetphoto #streetview #streetportrait #streetphotographers #ig_street⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #film #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #ishootfilm #analogue #filmcamera #believeinfilm #blackandwhite #filmfeed #analogphotography #photography #shootfilm #buyfilmnotmegapixels #staybrokeshootfilm #bw #filmphoto ⠀⠀ Japan Street Photography 2016. #japanstreetphotography #tokyostreetphoto #tokyo #tokyostreetphotography
MSP's Back Catalogue Retrospective Day 3⠀ ⠀ Waiting for the light rail. I love the expression of the little girl waiting for the train whilst mum is busy on her phone. She looks pretty bored! Shot very wide and cropped in to focus on the subjects. ⠀ ⠀ Geek Details :⠀ Leica M7 - 35mm lens - HP5 shot at iso800⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #leicam7⠀ ⠀ From the Melbourne Street Photography Blog www.mellbournestreetphotography.com.au ⠀ ⠀ #melbournestreets #melbournestreetphotography #melbournestreetphoto ⠀ ⠀ #streetphotography #streetphoto #photostreet #streetview #streetportrait #streetphotographers ⠀ ⠀ #film #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #analog #ishootfilm #analogue #filmcamera #believeinfilm #blackandwhite #filmfeed #analogphotography #streetphotography #filmcommunity #photography #shootfilm #buyfilmnotmegapixels #staybrokeshootfilm #bw #filmphoto
