My friend asked if I might want to use it instead of the Hassy; I demurred as I was quite familiar with the Hasselblad system, and felt the learning curve for the Contax would be longer. He has really gotten some incredibly good photos out of that system, and his rationale for getting it was that his eyes are like mine- slow and not as good in dim light! Even without the leaf shutter, the Contax is an impressive system! Dan > I don't think you have to compromise these days, to be honest.
