Thanks for your kind words! I do enjoy these two lenses quite a bit. About to head into the gray months up here in the Northwest pretty soon . . . . .

Wow! This close-up shot is fabulous! I am inspired to use my old Contax G lenses (21, 28, 45, and 90mm) more often in the future. :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Thanks everyone for your inspiration with the many beautiful stills with Contax G glass.
Thought it would be nice to add to this thread and post some moving images as well. Here's a little piece shot with the Contax G 28mm lens and a Raynox HD-6600PRO wide angle adapter. I cut off the legs of the Contax G 28mm lens and also posted a short demo in the other Contax G mount thread on how its done for those who are interested. Here's that same lens in action. Enjoy!

Brewer Fountain ~ Boston Commns
GF1 with the Carl Zeiss Contax G Planar T* 45mm f2 -- ISO 100 -- f4 -- 1/160
The fountain was a gift to the city of Boston by Gardner Brewer, which began to function for the first time on June 3, 1868. It is a copy, in bronze, of a fountain designed by French artist Liénard [Jean Auguste Edouard Liénard, most likely]. The fountain was sculpted for the Paris Word's Fair of 1855 [Exposition Universelle de 1855], where it was awarded a gold medal.
The great figures at the base represent Neptune [Roman god of water and sea] and Amphitrite [Greek sea goddess], Acis [spirit of Acis River by Roman Poet Ovid] and Galatea [Roman sea nymph]. The fountain was cast in Paris, brought to this country, and set up at the sole expense of the public-spirited donor. Copies of iron were made for the cities of Lyons and Bordeaux; and an exact copy, in bronze, was made for Said Pacha, a late Viceroy of Egypt.

Hello all,
I am very excited to find this forum. I have shot with a G1 for 9 years and loved the camera. I have been looking for a comparable feel in a digital camera. I settled on a Canon G9 for the past 3 years. I am now waiting to receive my gf1 with Contax adapter. The images here are stunning and I can't wait to contribute.
Thanks,
James

I just got my contax adapter in the mail. I waited four weeks. Testing it today, but here it is on the camera. I loved my Contax g1 with the 35. I can't wait to shoot with this lens again.

And now a couple of shots from the lens. I need to get used to the focusing. I was off a bit with the depth of field, but over all I am very happy.
Welcome to the "Fun with Contax G Lenses on m43 Club"! We would like to see more of your fine images captured with your Contax G lenses! Best,

Thanks Leica 77. Here is another from the other day. I forgot how sweet the 35 f2 is. I would prefer it to be a bit wider but it is fun to work with. The GF1 really made it easy to work in full manual. Everything was very intuitive.
