Hurry up Contax! Panasonic will launch the
world's first manual focus rangefinder
5-Megapixels digital with a high quality Leica Vario-Summicron zoom. It features a classic (Leica influenced styling) body and lens. Imagine what would happen if Contax launch the first manual focous non-full frame digital for the C/Y mount! Or even better if they modify the back focus system of the AX, replacing the moving film compartment by a digital sensor and extending the extension range from 10cm to 20cm; autofocus and digital for the C/Y lens! Perhaps...in my dreams.
PS: I came across a mint N 400/4 for sale and nearly bought it. But I changed my mind and bought a used Canon 300 f2.8 L instead, which is in the same price bracket as the N400/4. It is because the AF speed of the Canon super telephoto lenses is well proven to the best in the fields by pro sport shooters.
