The Contax T2 (1990-2001) is a titanium-bodied premium point-and-shoot with a Carl Zeiss 38 mm f/2.8 Sonnar T* lens. Aperture-priority auto exposure, AF with manual override, the build quality of an SLR in a shirt-pocket body. Resurgent in the 2010s through fashion photography and held high prices since.
Pricing in 2026: EUR 1200-2000 for a good-condition body, sensitive to cosmetics.

The biggest risk is sticky aperture blades from old grease in the lens. Test stop-down behaviour visually if possible. AF accuracy can drift on older bodies.
Avoid cosmetically rough examples - the market pays heavily for clean titanium. Verify the LCD on the back is readable, not faded.
