No question, Bob, regarding the cost of things Leica. The Contax glass is
top-flight...I just didn't personally like the viewfinder of the G1...never
looked at the G2. A nice car for the difference? Dunno about that, but my
wallet would have certainly appreciated your opinion several years ago! <g>

I certainly respect Alan's opinion and sure don't want to get a Leica
M vs. Contax G debate going. So I'll just add that I'm very happy
shooting my Contax G1 and G2 bodies with Zeiss 21mm Biogon, 28mm
Biogon, 35mm Planar, 45mm Planar and 90mm Sonnar lenses. Price that in
the Leica equivalent. The difference will get you a nice car to get
somewhere to shoot.
