Many who rushed into buying it when it was first launched with great pomp & fanfare have developed after purchase regrets and sold them soon after. However, many Contax diehards are holding onto them and it is claimed that the Hologon lens itself is good enough reason to hang onto the G1. Pity Leica does not presently produce something equivalent to the Contax Hologon. Dan Khong
