This question could be considered BLASPHAMY :O

I can only give general comments on the Contax as I don't own one but have
used one . Lenses great, battery life w/o the big pack is horrible, there is
some sort of 1-2 second delay when the camera puts it's self into power save
mode and you press the shutter to focus/shoot so you just need to depress
the button  before bringing the camera to your eye.

Wouldn't the Mamiya 7 be a good companion to the Leicas ;) (if you had an M)
I just made some scans on an Epson 2450 and am printing out some 8x10's &
11x14's from old negs I never proofed. They RoXorZ !! I can only imagine
what they'd look like if I got good drum scans and crystal prints made :)
