Austin,

I used to shoot with S2/S2b and and had brief experience with the Aria.  Now
I own only Leica R. Contax and Leica R are both good enough.  It is thus a
matter of preference.  If you like the character of Leica glass and willing
to pay for it, there is no other choices.  If you prefer the character of
Zeiss glass or feel happier with spending less for comparable, if not equal,
performance, why not using Aria (a little too plasticky but well made as a
feather-weight SLR body).

Cheers,
 

MIKIRO
