I was saddened to read the news that Contax, maker of some of the finest cameras available, have decided to stop making cameras. This is a crying shame for a marque up there with Leica and Hasselblad, jostling for the crown of best camera.

Completely off-topic for this blog, I admit, but as a fan and user of the wonderful G2 Rangefinder, I feel a sense of loss at the demise of this great brand.

A sign of the times, I’m afraid
