I agree this is sad especially when the 35mm f2 Distagon in Contarex mount was and still is such a magnificent lens. Do get a chance to use the Distagon if you can. I changed from Zeiss SLRs to Leicaflexes when Zeiss-Ikon ceased manufacture but when I can carry only one SLR camera it is still the Contarex Super + 35mm Distagon + 85mm Sonnar + 3 interchangeable backs! The pictures they take have an impact which is equal to those from the Leitz 35mm ASPH and 90mm APO, which I also treasure.
