Sad, in many ways. As a very young chap I used to lust after the Contax
only a little less than after the Leica. Never used one, sorry to say.
But I did use a Contaflex which I thought was an excellent SLR, and
after that, whenever I saw a picture of a Contarex in a magazine I used
to drool. Then later, the Contax RTS came out, which I also thought was
a beaut. Oh well. Sic transit, and all that.
Cheers.
