Description from the seller
We are presenting at auction an iconic example of 1990s rangefinder photography: the Contax G1. Produced by Kyocera, this camera represents a technological milestone, blending the classic elegance of a rangefinder with the precision of electronic autofocus. The body is crafted from a refined titanium alloy that gives the item superior durability and a high-quality tactile feel, while maintaining a light weight for everyday use. The G1 is famous for its Carl Zeiss interchangeable lenses system, which delivers legendary image performance in terms of contrast and sharpness.
The unit in question is presented in excellent cosmetic condition, maintaining its original brilliant champagne finish with no obvious signs of wear. The lot is particularly valuable for collectors as it includes the complete setup visible in the image. Included are the original box with its protective inserts, the printed manual, the era-appropriate Fowa warranty certificate, and the original Contax black leather strap still perfectly preserved. Completing the kit are the logo-marked body cap and the metal strap lugs. The viewfinder is clear and bright, while the liquid crystal displays on the top are perfectly legible. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a complete professional photographic system, ready to use or to be added to a prestigious collection.
