The CONTAX S2 is the only all-mechanical CONTAX SLR camera in the CONTAX SLR era. It inherits the lineage of the CONTAX S single-lens reflex camera from East Germany in the late 1940s. Many people like to compare it to the Nikon FM2n. The biggest difference is that the CONTAX S2 has a spot metering mode (which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on the user's habits. Later, the CONTAX S2b was released with only central-weighted metering). Additionally, the inability to add a film advance motor is a major difference.
The Carl Zeiss Distagon 2.8/25 T* is one of the so-called Zeiss legendary lenses. The one I have is a German lens, which is colloquially known as a "German lens". Because of the discontinuation of CONTAX, the second-hand price has dropped from 18,000 to 12,000, which gave me the opportunity to buy it at a good price. I won't say much about the so-called creamy color tone because there are many predecessors discussing it online
CONTAX S2 是CONTAX SLR時代唯一的CONTAX全機械式相機(當然測光還是需要電池)，繼承了1940年代末期的東德CONTAX S單眼相機的血統。很多人喜歡拿她來跟Nikon FM2n比較，最大的不同在於CONTAX S2測光模式為點測光(昰優點也是缺點，端看使用者的習慣，後來又出了CONTAX S2b僅有中央重點測光)，另外無法外加過片馬達的功能也昰一項極大的差異。
Carl Zeiss Distagon 2.8/25 T*昰所謂的蔡司銘鏡之一，手邊的這顆昰俗稱的德鏡，因為CONTAX的停產，二手價從18,000跌到12,000，讓我有機會用善良的價格購入，所謂奶油味的色調因為網上已有諸多前輩討論，我就不多說了。
On a summer afternoon, I took a camera and a lens to the old campus of National Taiwan University Medical School. The old campus is located on the south side of the new campus of National Taiwan University Hospital. It looks like it has been renovated recently (the paint is new, and there are still templates left over from the workers' construction on the ground). It was about 3 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The front of the building just happened to be at an angle of 80 to 90 degrees to the sun. When shooting, I deliberately let the sun into the frame to test the spot metering and anti-glare capabilities of the CONTAX S2 and the Distagon 2.8/25 T*. The results are the following works, which are quite satisfactory!
夏日的午後，帶著一機一鏡到台大醫學院舊校舍拍攝。舊校舍就在臺大醫院新院區的南側，看起來最近有整修過 (油漆昰新的，地上還有工人施工後遺留下來的模板)。時間約莫3~4點，建築物的正面正好與陽光成80~90度角，拍攝時故意讓大太陽入鏡，可以同時測試CONTAX S2的點測光與Distagon 2.8/25 T*的抗耀光實力。結果就是以下的作品，算是很滿意啦 !
