Marc, Ansel Adams was an official spokesman for Contax. His famous portrait of Stieglitz was taken with a Contax and 50mm lens. If Ansel owned Leica, he sure kept it quiet, and in his autobiography stated his preference for Contax. Or was it his book "The Camera?" That is until the end of his life, when the R4 was his camera of choice. (See his autobiography). Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA http://www.neteze.com/ewelch You'll get what's coming to you ... Unless mailed
