Seriously, they have one competitive product, and it's a low-volume medium
format body and lenses. Their 35mm stuff is irrelevant, since they never even delivered a decent AF solution, their digital camera was ambitious, but badly executed, and their rangefinder line, the G series, was fatally flawed, despite some of the finest lenses ever in 35mm. I don't believe that anyone who's watched them over the past ten years is surprised. wrote in message ups.com... Yup, no more Contax bodies. Another one bites the dust.
