The Most Desirable Camera? : Contax G2 Explained

I was recently lucky enough to be borrow a Contax G2, a camera which some will swear by and otherwise will disregard as gimmicky. In my previous video I went round and shot with the camera to get an idea of what the lenses were capable of and in this video I go over some of the history of the system as well as the basics on how to operate the camera.
