 The Nikon name couldn't be associated with the VF/RF system since it's a
 Contax replica (maybe equal, worse, or better - I don't know). Nikon is
 associated with SLRs. And, sorry, I didn't find Mamiya in my dictionary :)

 Maybe you guys are too jungen to remember but back in the mid '50s -
top photo-journalists like John Florea, Eliot Elisoffen*, Alan Grant etc.
were using Nikkor 50/1.4s on their Leicas as all Leitz had to offer in an
ultra fast lens was the soft 50/1.5 Summarit.
