I don't give a flying damn about eBay. I care
about what Zeiss published, which is that
non-exotic Contax RTS lenses were made at the old
Taminon Plant in Kyocera. And Alan Nomano,
Kyocera's head of marketing, certainly said that as well.
I was unaware that anyone still bought or used
the Contax RTS system. Wonders never
cease! When Kyocera dumped it, you couldn't give the gear away.
