Prices from outside the UK include about 20% import VAT. Over £135 the courier may add a handling fee, and customs duty can apply. Work out the full cost with the import cost calculator.

A * after the working status means it comes from the seller's description, not the title.

Before you buy a used G1

  1. Early G1s need the "green label" update to use every G lens: ask.
  2. Check the LCD and the AF.
  3. Check the rangefinder patch is bright and lines up at infinity and vertically.
  4. Check the shutter at every speed and the light seals around the back.
  5. Pay through eBay. eBay's Money Back Guarantee covers a camera that doesn't work as described, but only if you pay through eBay. Our used film camera checklist has the tests to do the day it arrives.

Battery: 2x CR2. The camera won't work without it. Battery finder →

Questions buyers ask

How much is a used G1 worth?

On eBay UK today a tested / working, with lens Contax G1 typically costs £1,025 delivered. A tested body on its own is about £531. These are asking prices, so many sell for a little less, especially with Best Offer.

Is it cheaper to buy a G1 from Japan?

89 of the 103 Contax G1 listings on eBay UK right now are posted from Japan. The cheapest tested one from Japan is £442 including about 20% import VAT, against £811 for the cheapest tested one from a UK seller. Japanese dealers grade cosmetic condition carefully ("Near Mint", "Exc+5"), but you pay import VAT and sometimes a courier fee, and returns take longer. All the prices on this page already include the VAT estimate.

What battery does the G1 take?

2x CR2.

Is a tested G1 worth paying more for?

Right now tested examples are listed at about £13 (2%) less than ones where the seller doesn't say. A film-tested camera is the safest buy: an untested one can need a service costing £60 to £150.

What should I check before buying a used G1?

Early G1s need the "green label" update to use every G lens: ask. Check the LCD and the AF.

Are these sold prices?

No, they're asking prices from live eBay listings, refreshed daily. We record the daily typical price, so the history chart shows how asking prices move.
