Would be great for a way to get that glass in use but one one of those bodies goes out that's pretty much it. And over machines to the get go. While a Canon or Nikon would set a disk in with two screws a Zeiss Contarex Would use twelve micro screws. The feel of the build as you took a picture was in a class in itself. Its an historical oddity. I took this with it with Panatomic x and ran it in Beutler's around 1981. http://rabinergroup.com/ImagePages/Naomipage.html This shot just got used on the cover of a poetry book.
