Nope, it makes eight ludicrously expensive ones, and seven expensive ones ;-)
35, 45, 80, 120, 140, 210 (and two more) in 645 and 50, 100 macro, 17-35, 24-85, 28-80, 70-200, 70-300 in 35 mm (the 645 to 35mm adaptor is about 400 euro, by the way) Odd that there are no primes below 35mm, when one of the advantage of full-frame was being able to use wide-angles as wide angles. I have no doubt that this camera will sell, however, and sell well at that. If you have a product that's the best on the market, or (more importantly) perceived to be the best, you can pretty much hold your customers to ransom. Contax -- or rather Carl Zeiss -- have exactly that kind of product... I nearly was talked into buying an RX last year... then I looked at the price of a 24mm lens! -- Kristian On Wednesday, March 6, 2002, at 02:32 pm, Rob Brigham wrote: > From dpreview: > > "Contax will argue that you can use your excellent Contax N System > lenses (seven total) as well as all eight Contax 645 system lenses using > an adapter.
