Wanting to buy Contax G2

[simon_gabriel]

<p>Hey, guys.<br>

Currently in the market for a Contax G2 (hopefully with a 45mm Planar). But I'm at a loss with where to pick one up in the UK. Does anyone have any tips</p>

[john_shriver]

<p>Ffordes? But they only have G1's at the moment.<br>

Of course there is eBay.</p>

[simon_gabriel]

<p>Yeah, Ffordes is always a good look, and I think I missed out on a good priced G2 by a few days. </p>

<p>Ffordes do have a 28/45/90 + flash G2 'Millenium' kit for £1450.</p>

[simon_gabriel]

<p>Yeah, I saw that but it's not fully in my price range! It would be a great to have the full kit, though.</p>

[Richard Williams]

<p>I suspect if you wait a while a G2 body will turn up at Ffordes. Probably also worth keeping an eye on Cameraworld, Aperture and LCE, all of which have Contax G stuff (LCE currently has a 4 lens G2 kit, but I'm afraid that's £1500). York Cameras in London near the British Museum often used to have Contax G gear, but I haven't been in there for ages.</p>

<p>York Cameras near the British Museum was empty when I passed it a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps it was being refitted.</p>

I'll have to check, it might well be gone for good. RG Lewis shut up shop last year, too.

According to the google review page for York: 'On 3 Sept 2014 shop was empty and business seems closed. No signs to indicate relocation.' so it's definitely (long) gone.
