Nice. The Summilux 50/1.4 gets good reviews; the Summicron 35/2 is a classic.
And, as I'm sure you know, both of those Contax bodies are wonderful cameras. I believe there's some debate in regard tow which is superior -- the II or IIA, but both are superb. I think the II was a prewar design, while the IIA was produced after the war when Contax was split into two companies.
