Subject: RE: [Leica] R7 vs RTS II

craig, i think both of the cameras are fine, but the bigger issue is lenses.
i have both a manual r and contax system and love them both. the zeiss
lenses cost less and with the introduction of the contax af system, u will
see further drop in prices in the used market as people are upgrading, the
leica are much more expensive and it takes more $$ to build a system. both
the 80 and 85 (germen or Japanese )are fine lenses. is the leica 180 type 2
the 67mm filter thread??

[Hello All,
[
[I have an opportunity to keep either an R7 or a Contax RTSII to compliment
[my M's. Do any of you have experience with both cameras and an opinion on
[which is more desirable? I will test them both myself, but I
[thought some of
[you might provide added insight. Also, any opinions on the 80 Summilux vs.
[the German 85 1.4 planar? Or the older German Zeiss 180 2.8 Sonnar vs. the
[180 2.8 elmarit type 2?
[
[Thanks for your time,
[
[Craig
