In fact, if the mount changes, the whole game changes. Choice, if one wanted to switch from a manual to an AF system, would not only be limited to Leica but to any manufacturer. Hardly what Leica would like to see happening I guess, in view of their already marginal take of the overall SLR market. What Contax did is a very brave move, but at the same time a very dangerous one towards existing Contax SLR users.
