<< But try to get a 400 2.8 from Zeiss. Or a 600 f/4, or 800 f/5.6, or a 560
 f/4. There was a prototype 600 f/4 by Zeiss. The price? Like maybe Bill
 Gates could buy one for weekend photo forays. >>

Eric, you are right about that.  One can forget Zeiss / Contax for telephoto
work.  The only reasonably priced lens is the 300 f 4 and it is not great.
However, the rest of the lineup is quite good.  They now have 30 lenses.
