You might look him up and ask for more info. Marc Small, (though I don't know if you two are on speaking terms at the moment) is an expert on things historical re Contax and might be able to shed some light on this as well. While I have the floor, I'm curious to learn who else on this list has and uses both Contax and Leica gear, particularly Contax on the SLR side and M series in RF. Happy New Year to all! >> The only new Zeiss lens for their SLRs is a limited production 50mm f/1.2 that they introduced a few >>months ago. Scheesh. >I'd be interested in knowing just what this lens' background is. My >brother, who has been a classic camera dealer for many years, suspects it >may be an old design resurrected, which makes it a good deal less exciting. >Thanks for your interesting posts!
