All my lenses (12) even though a couple are brand new are not equipped with the contacts and everything I see in the viewfinder for information of lens state is just fine. There was some talk that they were for some kind of a/f, but that isn't confirmed nor denied as I understand. If I were deciding on buying or not buying a lens with or without contacts I'd just go ahead and buy, as I don't see the electronics as a life saving item. ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
