I think it's because Kyocera still has the license on the copyright on the Contax name and mount.
I agree that's a bummer 
This is also the reason why they are producing lenses for M42 Nikon and Pentax mounts and no Contax mount anymore.

It looks like a beauty! I wonder if this is going to increase the prices of M42 lenses?
Orio, I suppose that we would be looking at stop-down metering with the older M42 lenses, in light of the full-mode for the ZS lens line? Or will they enable full-mode compatibility with all fitted lenses?
A smart move by Zeiss. I think 10mp at full frame will be "music to the ears" of a lot of photographers.

Particularly interesting to read about the deal with Sony (who now own the sensor-based image stabilization patents originally by Minolta) - although I see they can't call it Super Steady Shot.
I hope this doesn't mean that the ZF lenses are phased out to promote sales of their new body ....

Wonderful - now all I need is a suitable source of magnesium powder flash and I can have a truly retro feel to my film noir?

FINE !
I dream for years that Praktica does the same !
It will be nice to have a "cheap" M42 basic reflex.

Fantastic! It looks kind of retro, a bit like a Contax 139. Let's hope the leather doesn't fall off this new model like it did with that camera! |
