Contax G2 CLA help

[Rich Ullsmith]

If I am not mistaken, Kyocera's website reads: Unless you have a Contax 645, Kyocera will no longer service any Contax cameras that are over 10 years old.

Well, my G2 is over ten years old and the autofocus is inoperative. I have an email into Kyocera for clarification, but if they will not perform any service, what are my options? I bought a green label G1 as a back-up in the event the G2 was out of commission for a while (last service from Kyocera took months and with zero communication, to the point I was sure my camera was in a shop window in Kowloon), but even the G1 will need help eventually.

Any ideas or contacts would be helpful.

Had a similar problem last year.

I bumped my G2 and cracked the viewfinder LCD, causing bleed so I can't read shutter speed etc. After a fruitless search via Kyocera, several camera repairers looking for parts etc I finally gave up. I still use the camera though, the lack of shutter display just adds to the mystery..

Probably not a very helpful story, hope you are luckier than I was...
