Hi,
I bought a M6 because I found
* That the leica optics are better than the Japanese-made Zeis optics for
the G2. The Leica lenses also have a depth of fieldscale.
* That the viewfinder with the frames of the Leica is better than the
Contax viewfinder.
* The Leica is manual focus (when I need autofocus I use my SLRs)
* A Contax is not a Leica
But you are right the Contax lenses costs much less money.

Subject: [Leica] Leica vs. Contax wars
More to the point than Leica vs. Nikon is the question of Leica vs.
Contax,
namely the G2. It's become apparent that the Japanese-made Zeiss optics
are
equal or better than many/most Leitz offerings. Coupled with a better
view
finder, a very good auto focus and much less money, Contax has to be the
leader among 35 mm rangefinders. Right??
