Well, it depends on what you mean by "current".  The N1 is their new
autofocus camera, and the D1 will use the same lenses.  Prior to that, the
only autofocus camera Contax had in 35mm SLR is the AX, which DOES use the
"regular" manual focus Zeiss lenses...which are absolutely stupendous
lenses.  The AX autofocuses by moving the film plane, not the focus ring on
the lense, which is why it can use the manual focus lenses.

If I was going to use Canon, they would have to compare to Leica or
Contax/Zeiss in quality...so I hope they are better than "pretty good".
