Contax S2
The Contax S2 is a 35mm film SLR, a manual-focus body positioned within Contax's Yashica/Kyocera-era lineup using the Contax/Yashica lens mount. It was aimed at photographers who wanted a mechanical, metered SLR paired with Carl Zeiss T* optics.
At recent UK auction in 2026, hammer prices for the Contax S2 have sat around £200, with both recorded sales closing at that figure — so the working range and median are effectively the same £200 today. With only two data points the market read is thin, and condition, shutter accuracy and cosmetic wear will swing what a clean example is worth; bodies sold with a Zeiss lens typically sell for more than the body alone.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Contax S2 worth at UK auction today?
Recent UK auction hammer results for the Contax S2 have landed at around £200, based on two 2025 sales; that is the wholesale saleroom level and excludes buyer's premium.
How much does a Contax S2 sell for with a lens?
The recorded sales in our data are body-only style results at £200, and a body bundled with a Carl Zeiss T* lens would typically sell for more, though the exact premium depends on which lens is included and its condition.
Is the price and value of a Contax S2 likely to change?
With only a small number of tracked sales the price signal is limited, so the current £200 value should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market benchmark.
