The Contax G2 doesn't offer a mechanical rangefinder.  The "manual
focus" is really the old focus confirmation trick from the Olympus OM-F
/ Canon AL-1 QF days.  You work the wheel and the camera supposedly
tells you when focus is correct.  There is an incredible amount of slop
in the manual wheel before the focus indicator says you are out of
focus.  I would have expected a very precise point for the money they
charge.
