I would like to drop a personal statement here.
For me N1, NX and all lenses with the new AF mount are way too clumsy. Look at N1 + 24-85. What a monster! That's medium format level!
If I will settle for a Contax SLR system to complement the actual G setup, this has to be an "old fashioned" C/Y system, just because of size and weight.
I think that they should never stop production of the current C/Y mount lenses; on the contrary they should develop new lens designs and on the long term a digital C/Y-body as well!
Just because of size and weight.
BTW, Leica has slip up the same way in SLRs. They did not replace R6.2 by a (better) light body. As they stated because of "no demand".
I am sure that there would be a sustainable demand for an FM3a-equivalent body! Combined with the best SLR lenses, this would be an instant classic.
Not every so called serious amateur puts up with lugging tons of gear.
Not every subject feels comfortable when being "shot" by a monster camera.
