Again, you are urged to read Dechert's CONTAX CONNECTION. I don't believe there are any unresolved questions of import about the nexus: Zeiss and Pentax tried to make the collaboration work, and it didn't. Zeiss next tried with Yashica, and that collaboration worked, and worked well. Neither Pentax nor Zeiss were losers in their brief relationship: both learned a lot about how to do things and how not to do things, and I believe the termination was quite amicable. I am decidedly NOT a scholar of the Contax SLR system and my literature on this quirky, but interesting, camera line is woefully inadequate.
