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 & Program AE – Shoot fully automatic, or take creative control with manual aperture selection from f/2.8 to f/16.

✔ 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.

Battery Requirement – This reusable film camera operates with 1x CR123A 3V battery (sold separately).

Grade

Grade: We grade every camera carefully so you can shop with confidence, knowing exactly what you’ll receive. Each one is thoroughly tested to ensure it works as intended, and our grading scale helps you understand the overall condition and any minor imperfections that distinguish it from a like-new example.

  • Grade 10 – Near Perfect: Near-perfect, minimal to no wear, flawless functions, crystal-clear lens.
  • Grade 9 – Excellent: Lightly used, faint scuffs, fully functional, clean lens.
  • Grade 8 – Great: Normal signs of use, minor surface marks, fully functional.
  • Grade 7 – Good: Well-loved with visible wear or small quirks, but everything works as it should.
  • Grade 6 – Fair: Heavier wear and noticeable imperfections. It may also have minor functional quirks or imperfections, but it is fully functional and full of character.
