The Contax lenses I have are equal to Leica, in term of build and performance. I know because I've used the side by side. Years back I bought a Contax system from another photographer. I already had an R system. I ended up having a lot of duplication on both systems. The only difference that I could see was color balance. Contax was great because I was shooting weddings at the time. Both 120 (Hasselblad) and 35mm looked the same. My lab (remember when labs did all the processing? Just drop off the film and pick up the proofs!) was pleased. I ended up selling my R gear and keeping the Contax, something that might not have been so wise in retrospect. I agree about Nikon needing to upgrade their primes. All the attention seems to be on zooms. Probably because that's where the money is.
