Default Buy a used G2, or a voigtlander with the future Zeiss ZM mount lens ?

Hello,

What could be the more interesting choice.

1-Buy a used G2 with planar 45/2 now (how can it cost approximately)
2-Wait for the coming out of the Zeiss Ikon and ZM mounts lenses ans buy
a G2 and planar 45/2 (hoping the new hardware will lower the price of
the used Contax camera and lens)
3-Wait for the coming out of the Zeiss Ikon and ZM mounts lenses and buy
a bessa R2a and planar 45/2 Zeiss ZM mounts lens. By the way do you have
an idea of the future planar 45/2 lens price ?

All i want is to get the best optical quality a the lower price. Sure
i'm always a bit anxious to buy an used hardware.

Thank you for your advises

The most flexible system would be the leica M mount. You have several
companies making bodies and lenses, including Konica, Cosina/Voigtlander,
etc. I wouldn't hold my breath for the Zeiss Ikon, we still have a long
way to go before we actually see it on the market. If you buy in to the
M system you can still use the new Zeiss.
