About this camera
About the Contax T2 35mm Point-and-Shoot Film Camera (Gold)
The Contax T2 Gold pairs a fixed 38mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Sonnar lens with a titanium body. Unlike a zoom camera, it gives you one focal length to work with. Use automatic exposure for a straightforward point-and-shoot experience, or aperture-priority mode when you want more control. Compare the available condition grades before choosing your camera.

*JUST SERVICED & FILM TESTED*
Meet the Contax T2 — one of the most coveted vintage 35mm cameras ever made. Released by Kyocera in 1991, the T2 pairs a titanium body with a legendary Carl Zeiss T* Sonnar lens, making it a favourite among serious film photographers, collectors, and anyone chasing that unmistakable Zeiss look.
✔ Legendary Carl Zeiss T* Sonnar 38mm f/2.8 lens – The Carl Zeiss T* lens features a multi-coating for flare reduction and high contrast colour rendering, allowing the T2 to deliver the sharp, richly detailed images it is famous for.
✔ Titanium body – Durable, pocketable and built to last, weighing just 310g (without battery) and measuring 119mm x 66mm x 33mm.
✔ Aperture-priority and program AE – Select an aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed. At the f/2.8 setting, the camera can close the aperture automatically and enter program AE; it does not always keep the lens at f/2.8.
✔ Manual focus override – Switch off autofocus and dial in manual distances (0.7m, 1m, 2m, 5m, infinity) for full creative control.
✔ Exposure compensation – Adjust ±2EV in 0.5EV steps via the top dial, ideal for tricky lighting.
✔ Built-in auto-flash – Ready for low light, with a flash range of approximately 0.7m-3m at ISO 100.
The Contax T2 is one of our most premium offerings - a true collector's piece that's just as capable behind the lens as it is beautiful in hand. If you're after a step up from an entry-level point-and-shoot, or simply want to own one of the most legendary compact film cameras ever made, the T2 delivers on every front.
