Quality DOES cost, after all: the Leica, a wonderful body with, well, questionable lenses, the Contax was a well-engineered body with stunningly good lenses (I shoot with some of them even today). Both had a gazillion doo-dads available to fit them for technical and professional use. But, the bottom line: Contax cost a LOT more!
