If only it could be so!  I still think a manual focus Contax at about the 
same price as the current autofocus offerings would be a dream camera.  As 
it is the auto focus problems with the camera along with a reputation for 
electrical glitches has kept many pro's and otherwise from indulging.  Too 
bad as the lenses really are superb.  The 28mm is cosidered the best in the 
business
