Without getting into a Contax/Leica fight, I just want to say that the new AX is a beautiful camera and its autofocus system makes me ALMOST want an autofocus camera. It would have been great if Leica had licensed that technology for the R8. Obviously Kyocera (with Porshe design) can and does make some handsome equipment. It is not beyond reality that they had a hand in the design of the physical characteristice of the R8. Brian Levy, J.D. Toronto, Ont. dlevy@worldy.com
