The Contax T2 is a autofocus 35mm compact camera released in 1991 by Kyocera under the Contax brand. It was the second of the T series of high-end compact film cameras targeted at the professional and luxury consumer markets. The first Contax T was a 35mm rangefinder camera released in the 1980's. The body is available in various different colours and finishes.
The camera was designed primary as a point and shoot camera. Unlike most traditional point and shoots there are various adjustments such as exposure compensation, manual focus control, and a aperture priority control.

The main dial can select focus from AF (on) mode, and manual distance modes of 0.7m, 1m, 2m, 5m and infinity. The lens has aperture selection with markings of 16, 11, 8, 5.6, 4 and 2.8.
