Hello,

 I have used the Nikkor 135/3.5, 85/2 and 105/2.5 rangefinder lenses in
Nikon, Contax and Leica mounts with satisfaction.  I tend to believe that
these lenses are modified Zeiss design for the Contax, being as good as the
Zeiss lenses or Leica lenses if not better.  I also tend to believe that
the rangefinder versions of the 85/2 and the 105/2.5 are better than the
SLR versions.  Their black versions have special looks too at least to me.
I love them.

Best Wishes,
David
