I also must add another comment on a "feature."  The Contax lens system =
is
simply not comparable to the Leica one in variety.  The Contax has no =
fast
or long zooms, e.g., and is woefully short on long lenses generally.

Charles, pardon me for jumping in, but I couldn't resist responding to =
your comment above.  There are a lot of reasons to prefer Leica to =
Contax, but lens variety isn't one of them.  Following is the current =
Contax lens lineup.  No, it doesn't go quite as long as Leica R, but =
neither goes as long (or short, for that matter) as Nikon.
