What it is
{"overview":"The Contax G1 is a 35mm autofocus rangefinder-style camera introduced by Kyocera under the Contax brand in 1994. In today's market the G1 value is condition-sensitive: clean, fully working examples fetch toward the upper end of that range, while tired bodies or ones with autofocus concerns sell for less. There is a known \"green label\" variant with firmware that supports the later 21mm and 35mm G lenses without modification, and it tends to command a premium over earlier \"white label\" bodies.

Versions and how to tell them apart
Questions
Is the Contax G1 'green label' version worth more?
Yes — the green-label G1, which natively supports the 21mm and 35mm Zeiss G lenses, generally commands a higher price than earlier white-label bodies when condition is comparable.
What affects the price and value of a Contax G1?
Autofocus performance, LCD condition, overall cosmetics, whether the body is the green-label variant, and whether a Zeiss lens is included are the main factors that drive what a G1 sells for.
