By far the best looking/feeling camera I have seen, hope I can get something good out of it.

Yes, it's not something you can quietly take with you to the slums

I'm sure you will. It has some of the best optics available anywhere. The focusing mechanism requires to get used to it though. After every shot, it gets back to a "null" position. So you must refocus for every shot, unless you shoose the "continuous" shooting more. If you like me are used to manual focusing more than autofocusing, you may forget to refocus. This is the only drawback in an otherwise almost perfect camera.

What I would really like is for someone to invent and sell me a 22 megapixel chip that inserts into the back of it, giving me digital functionality when required. Then it would be really perfect.

Requests for a digital back for the G2 have been going on for quite some time now, but apparently Zeiss isn't interested, probably because after the hyatus from Kyocera, there are still legal issues pending for the Contax name (which belong to Zeiss but was loaned to Kyocera until well within the 2010s I believe.)

Well I would be happy to wait.
In the meantime the quality is so high it will keep my happy enough.
Just have to finish this pesky video then I will go and shoot some film with it.

WOW!
I love this camera.
I just got some negatives back, and they are looking good.
Off to Cyprus for a week but here is the first scan - neopan 1600, a series on mannequins (I find them fascinating):
This one is with the 90mm wide open.
