The real winner was the early Contax I, with an effective baseline of
92.7mm.

For the aspiring photo addict that wanted to use the 180 F6.3 Tele Tessar.
For the upgrade to the 180 F2.8 Sonnar, the RF was also coupled.

Imagine the framing problem with that sucker!

There was also the 300 and 500MM Fern lenses, that did come RF coupled.
They had a separate VF available as an option.

Oh, the old days.......
