I'm on intense search for a new SLR. I currently own HP PhotoSmart 912 (digital camera). One of my options is Contax.
The lenses I'll buy would be 28mm f/2.8 (scenary), 50mm f/1.7 (all around), 135mm f/2.8 (portraits).
I cannot decide between Aria body or AX body. Both seems to be great bodies. The AX adds the AF ability (not a big concern for me), but it also make it possible to shoot at closer distance with the 135mm thus overcomming its main disadvantage.
My main concern is budget... Contax costs a lot more than the other brands, but I'm willing to make that sacrifise. It would take me about a year to save money for all this kit with the AX body(~1300$), while it would be much less with the Aria body (~900$).
I'm searching for a body that would last for years.
What body should I choose?
