I had a play with the Contax AF 645, and it's *awfully* good. Yes we're still waiting for the leaf shutter lenses, but the system Contax are building shows every sign of being a very competitive offering. Good fast AF, Zeiss lenses and medium format. Once those leaf lenses are there it has to be on the wedding snapper's list of systems to look at.
