Amongst them, Claes suggested looking at the web page: > >> http://www.novia.net/~jlw/contax/index.html which I did and there's a lot of good information there. There is a table of features showing Contax G1, G2 Leica M6 and Konica Hexar, billed as a NON-comparison which is useful. I disagree with the author's insistence that the three systems are non-comparable, and he backs it up with examples in the automotive world. I still believe it is valid to want to know how fast any two apparently disparate cars will accelerate. Likewise I might want to know if an apple has more ascorbic acid than an orange ;-) Equally it is valid to compare the lens qualities of the Leica system with those of any other system, as the end result is in every case getting an image down on film (or paper, or a computer) and the means to that end are irrelevant to a comparison of lenses. Anyway, it seems that the Contax G list is a little quiet to say the least! Still no messages after several days... Perhaps those who were complaining about the number of messages on the LUG should buy a Contax G2... ;-) Simon. Ionica, Cowley Road, Cambridge CB4 4AS Tel (01223) 223000 Fax (01223) 223100
