See, e.g.e ColorFoto test reports where M lenses consistently out-score Contax G lenses -- as Leica has said, they can't keep centering accurate with an AF mount. <Coupled with a better view finder> Huh?????? You can't see to the sides of the frame, and it only goes to 90mm. <a very good auto focus > If you want autofocus. <and much less money, Contax has to be the leader among 35 mm rangefinders. Right??> True, but at what price perfection? Tom (couldn't resist) Schofield
