>>I would not wish that on anyone :-).  Has anyone actually seen the
Contax AF camera?  It is about the size and weight of 2 bricks.  I
bet you can fit 3 OM cameras in the same space occupied by one Contax
AF body+lens.  So please, do not ever suggest that Olympus build an
AF camera using the Contax concept just to keep the current MF lenses,
no one will buy it.>>

Yeah, must be almost as big as an F5 <g>.

The concept of having an AF camera that will not obsolete one's existing
lenses is pretty incredible. Especially when the lenses cost as much as Zeiss!

Maybe, as John Prosper suggests, Contax will light the way for a much
improved version by Oly. Don't hold your breath though...
