The angle-of-view though the M6 viewfinder does not change when the lens focal length changes. The angle-of-view through the G1 viewfinder changes each time the lens focal length changes. The M6 viewfinder automatically changes frame lines when the lens changes. The G1 has a viewfinder that automatically changes the angle-of-view to match the lens mounted. The G1 has a built-in motor drive that shoots 1.6 shots per second in continuous shot mode and a built-in auto film rewind. I prefer the G1 hinged back to the M6 removable back. When compared at the same aperture, the optical quality of my G1 lenses and my M6 lenses are both excellent. The G1 lenses focus closer than my M6 lenses.

The M6 has excellent rangefinder manual focus. The G1 has manual focus that is next to useless. The Leica M6 is manual focus rangefinder. I was able to buy two G1 bodies with 28, 45, and 90mm Zeiss lenses for less than one Leica M6 body with no lens. The Contax is less expensive than the Leica. The Leica M6 is a manual/mechanical camera. The Contax G1 is an automatic/electronic camera. I can, however, compare the Contax G1 to the Leica M6 because I own and use both. So win-win.Д¬lick to expand.I cannot compare the Contax G2 to the Leica M2 because I have never used either. If your G pops off, get another body or sell your lens(es) for a good price and maybe the deceased body for spare parts. G2s have held their value to an amazing level in the secondhand market but G1s are as cheap as chips and you can buy either from online dealers. If (or more likely when) one passes away, I will just go on using the survivors. The other three I bought in the late 2000s when film camera prices were at rock bottom.

There are many around and the bodies are cheap - I paid full price for my first G1 in the mid-'90s when it came on the market and I had the credit to buy it. G1s are the humble older brother of the line. That 21 cost me big bucks in 2009 (I bought it on a whim) but even now is still worth more than I paid for it. There is also a 21/2.8 Sonnar - I have one, but it sees little use as I am not a super wide shooter. The 45/2.0 Planar 'standard' is the sharpest lens I own, but I tend to use the 28/2.8 Biogon more, then the 35/2.0 Planar, and now and then the 45. The Contax G lenses are truly superb, to me they are the best thing about the G range. The only lens I have had problems with is the 90/2.8 Sonnar, and even then if I pay attention to the focusing my images are 99.5% always sharp enough. Not being able to eyeball the focus in the viewfinder was a drawback for me for a while, but I eventually got used to it. They are quirky cameras, and it took me a while to get used to using them. None of mine have as yet, and I don't baby them. As most old cameras do, they can malfunction in time. Yes, they are an upmarket Point And Shoot (the titanium bodies make them stand out in a crowd of film shooters) with many nifty features. I own four G1s and I use them all, usually two at a time, one loaded with B&W film and the other with color neg. So they are two entirely different beasts, similar only in that they use film, which I believe in still available in many parts of the world (warning = bad joke alert). The Gs are fully automatic and do not have a rangefinder focusing patch. The differences between a Contax G2 or G1 and a Leica M2 are vast. However, the OP is sort of comparing apples to oranges. Posters #2 and #3 make relevant points about the Contax Gs.
