Right brand but not even the same mount. The Contax N series, which included the Contax N Digital, used a very EOS-like setup. In-lens AF motors, electronicly controlled apertures, with in-body AF sensor. The Contax 645 used the same setup and thus C645 lenses worked fully on Contax N 35mm bodies. The older Contax/Yashica mount AX was the camera in question. -- M.
