I don't know about _that_, but I too have a Contax G system (2 bodies, 5 lenses) that I don't use anymore. I rather like the system despite its several shortcomings (poor aufocus confirmation, unusable manual focus, dim viewfinder, as I recall). The lenses are superb, light, though no fast lenses. The system is lighter than their Leica counterpart. If I don't have Leica, I would gladly use the Contax G. I suppose I should sell that stuff. - - Phong - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
