Digital BW, The Print

This is a factor if you already own a Contax 645 and a set of even more 
fabulously expensive lenses for that camera.

It's also the only option at the moment if you want a long telephoto for the 
N digital, as the only available one is the 350mm for the 645.

However I'm worried about focus speed. The N1 already has a repurtation for 
slow focusing, and the even larger scale 645 lenses might be worse still.

Have you got the 350mm?
