Xavier, What did you read in my post which make you answer that. I was only discussing the fact that Contax AX kind of autofocus system will not give the best results possible with some Leica R lenses (and also some Contax lenses like the 35/1,4). The Contax AX body autofocuses by changing the lens-to-film distance (adjusting the distance between the lens and the film plane by moving the film plane). The body does the focusing work, not the lenses. Lucien
