People who get Contax SLR tend to do so because they want Zeiss glass. If they had wanted Leica lenses, then they would have probably gotten Leica bodies. No offense to anyone, but there are some people who prefer Zeiss SLR lenses to Leica SLR lenses, Zeiss SLR bodies to Leica SLR bodies. Most of them just happen to be subscribed to different mail lists. Alex
