No, I wouldn't do it anyway. The Contax lens is in for repair because the
zoom was creeping and when it was set on a tripod I found the composition of
the image was changing when the lens was angled away from the horizontal. I
do know that the head of their technical services department in Hamburg is
personally fixing the zoom mechnism and, if he can't do it right, then who
can?
