This type of input beats any discussion of bells and whistles. I've been considering Contax for my limited 35mm SLR needs: macro and longer reach. I took the train to Seattle last Friday because i more than wanting to see some Contax gear: ...wanted to see what people who used them wore and what they had for lunch and how they acted. ...see them in action!!! Theses three guys sure varied! (all nice guys) (the first two fellows had rings on both ears!, i though i was in trouble until the third fellow (from Denmark) showed up with plain ears!)
