#CONTAX G2 ACCESSORIES SERIES#

Yashica MC is a line of lenses compatible with Yashica Multi Program series cameras. Coupled with their original superb performance, all excepting the reflex and DSB lenses feature multi-layer anti-reflection coating which eliminates harmful reflections and assures maximum light transmission. Yashica lenses feature advanced design devised through application of the most up-to-date know-how in the field of optics combined with the most sophisticated computer programming. Image quality is also superb at all apertures. Zeiss T* lenses are striking examples of the complete balancing of optical factors such as resolution and contrast, uniform illumination across the entire image field, high light transmission, freedom from distortion and optimum color correction. The latest developments were incorporated, including the Zeiss T* multi-layer anti-reflection coating, the use of aspherics and floating lens elements. All these lenses offer to the photographer the traditional Zeiss quality and performance standards. The Zeiss interchangeable lenses with Contax/Yashica mount cover the focal length range from 15 to 1000mm, all providing extra-high speed for most convenient application even in adverse light situations.

#CONTAX G2 ACCESSORIES PROFESSIONAL#

Real Time photography is a concept created to meet the needs of the working professional and advanced amateur as well. Created through the combination of Porsche design skills, Yashica electronics technology and Carl Zeiss precision optics, the Contax Real Time System (RTS) is the result of a rare combination of talents. I would speculate that this indicates that a limited number of cameras were assembled just prior to the end of WWII. * Though not officially listed as far as I know, I have actually owned a war-time Contax II (complete with a correct T coated 1.5/5cm Sonnar) which marked on the body and back with a letter O. Because of its complexity and the fact that it was an early design, the Contax I was often sent back to the factory for extensive service and subsequently it received a second letter there to identify it as such.

(Accounts vary as to the exact end of production date which was caused by primarily by war damage, material shortages and shifting priorities.)ДЄdditionally, donвЂ™t be confused if your Contax I has two letters in the serial number. Though purists will prefer matching numbers, keep in mind that all Contax II and III cameras are roughly the same age due to the short production span from 1936-1942/43. If anything it reveals the turbulent history the Contax passed through and the often intense usage these excellent cameras received. ItвЂ™s fairly common to see this and it of course has no effect on performance. If the numbers are different, this indicates that the back was replaced or mixed up by some one with access to more than one camera time in the past.

#CONTAX G2 ACCESSORIES SERIAL NUMBER#

Be aware of the fact that the serial number on the body and the removable back were originally the same.

#CONTAX G2 ACCESSORIES CODE#

Once you know the code itвЂ™s easy to date them at a glance. This letter indicates the year that your Contax (and many other prewar Zeiss-Ikon cameras) was produced. This is due to the fact that Zeiss-Ikon used a letter code preceding actual serial number of any particular Contax camera. Interested in when your prewar/wartime Contax was produced? Although less Zeiss-Ikon documentation survived WWII than other manufacturers, itвЂ™s still simple to date your camera.
