The Contax N-1 uses new autofocus lenses. The N-1 also can use the Medium 
format lenses of the Contax 645 system (with adapter). The new digital body 
is called a "sister" to the N-1 by Contax. Since it's CCD or CMOS semsor 
covers the regular 24X36 image area, (six megapixel range) it's a good bet 
that the new body will use the N-1s autofocus lenses. Otherwise, Contax would 
have to provide a third line of lenses (fourth if you count the manual focus 
line) which is unreasonable and certainly not cost-effective for them. Yes, 
Contax lense are pricey, always have been, that comes as no surprise, 
although I don't know the prices of the new lenses.

 design for CCD. The current lenses does not work with the digital
 body. New Contax lenses cost much higher than the current already
 pricey Contax lenses, not to mention the body.
