The T2 is a metal-bodied autofocus 35mm compact with a fixed Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 38mm f/2.8. The lens is the entire point: contrastier, sharper, and prettier wide-open than any other compact's optic of the era. Combined with a leaf shutter (sync at any speed), aperture-priority mode, and a manual aperture ring on the lens barrel, it gave serious photographers a pocket camera they didn't have to apologize for.

Replaced the original Contax T (1984, manual focus, larger). The T2 launched in 1990 with autofocus and a smaller body. Kyocera made it under the Contax license. A T3 (2001) added a sharper 35/2.8 Sonnar, slimmer body, and TTL flash. T-series production ended when Kyocera exited cameras in 2005.
The T2 occupied the gap between "real camera" and "snapshot camera" — small enough to take everywhere, with optics good enough that pros used it as a B-camera. It became a fashion / streetwear object in the 2010s after Drake, Kendall Jenner and assorted celebrities were photographed with one; Supreme later collaborated on a branded version in 2018. Used prices roughly tripled between 2014 and 2020. Still considered by working pros (Greg Williams, fashion photographers) to be the best handling premium compact.
Lens is fixed. Compatible flashes: TLA-30, TLA-200. Cases were leather; original ones are collectibles. The Supreme x Contax T2 (2018) is identical except for branding — desirable to collectors, sometimes overpriced.
