I use Leica for 35 mm work and Rollei and Contax for medium format. I
like the Contax 645, but I find the Zeiss lens on the Rollie to be far
superior in sharpness to the Zeiss T lens on the Contax 645. My
experience with the Zeiss lens on the Contax 645 leaves me doubting the
quality of its lens on the new Contax N1 35 mm camera. I'd buy a Canon
over the Contax 35mm based on my experience with the medium format 645.
