| − | In the early 1990's, [[Contax]] and [[Kyocera]] introduced an apparent oddity: a new line of rangefinder cameras that did not use the established [[Leica]]-M or Leica-screw lens mounts. The new camera, the G1, used the "G" mount, an electronic autofocus mount. Leicaphile detractors were quick to accuse the camera of not being a "true" rangefinder, since it used autofocus. But the AF mechanism in the G1, and later the G2, does indeed use a twin-window system much like that of the older mechanical rangefinders -- only in electronic form.

| − | The lenses made by Contax for the G series quickly established it as a camera of worth: the original 35mm f/2 was joined by a 28mm f/2.8, a 90mm f/2.8, and a 45mm f/2. The 45mm Planar in particular gained renown as the sharpest 35mm camera lens ever tested by the Danish test site [[http://www.photodo.com Photodo]] -- outclassing even the illustrious Leica 50mm Summicron.
