I too subscribe to the ContaxG list, but have not received their mail = for the past two days. Maybe it=B4s not a very active list or = something is very wrong. Regarding comparisons between the Gs and the Ms there is a rather = nice web page: http://www.novia.net/~jlw/contax/index.html Why don=B4t you check it out? BTW, the only reason I=B4ve got a G2 is the Zeiss 16mm Hologon that = go with it! But I have no reason to suspect that the other Contax = Zeiss lenses are much inferior to the Leica lenses. Not very much = anyway! Except the Hologon I also have a Zeiss 28mm Biogon and a = Planar 45mm. They do the job quite nicely, but, of course, I do = prefer my Leica gear. Claes Bjerner
