Now I'm not trying to bash Oly but a R6.2 grey-market body is only a bit
more than a 3ti and an R7 is less than a 3ti.

An Aria is only a bit more than _half_ the cost of a 4ti while weighing
less, including a winder.

Yes Leica lenses are ridiculous but Contax, when compared to the fast Oly
lenses, _can_ be reasonable.
