#CALCUTTA: this communist-run former capital is surely my favourite #Indian city. We found the people to be staggeringly kind and friendly, as interested in us as we were in them. And it was more functional than ornamental, we could have explored for a year. #city #india #kolkata #contaxg2

#REPAIR: finally, I’ve found the spare parts I need to repair my original #ContaxG2 that I’ve had for twenty years. And then the backup body - which is much nicer, but has no sentimental value, will be up for sale… #contax #g2 #rangefinder

#LEICAQ2: goodbye M9, hello Q2. The first month shows that this is the closest possible modern-day equivalent to my beloved #ContaxG2, the fixed lens is unimpeachable, it is whisper-quiet and 47.3MP means huge flexibility in cropping. Perfect EDC camera as it’s pretty weather-sealed. And wifi pictures straight to my phone. Amazing. The #Canon1DX is up for sale too now :) Another ten years for this beast… #leica #mirrorless #rangefinder #summilux

The #contaxg2 is my favourite ever camera, ergo it is the greatest camera ever made. It’s ridiculously #tactile, made of #titanium, has excellent #AF and a parallax-corrected viewfinder, 4 fps motor drive and, and, and THOSE lenses. The finest lenses ever made for 35mm, including a 16mm #Hologon, and a 21mm #Biogon and 45mm #Planar that are easily best-in-class. Like all heroes, it has a tragic flaw, which is that it’s noisy to focus. But a small matter for such a mighty camera.
