I love the Contax G lenses, and even the G2 camera, but really do not consider it adequate as a manual focus camera. The R8 is the best manual focus camera I have handled, though I never had one, and though at first I did not like the look of it. In the end, the amazingly clear view finder, and the ergonimics won me over. In contrast, I had an R7, but did not like it much; nothing wrong with it but it just did not stand out in the very crowded and mature field of manual focus SLRs. I prefer the handling (focus aside) of the Canon EOS 1n for example. Mind you, the subjective factors are just as important as the objective factors. Cheers, - Phong
