Contax AX - autofocus with manual focus lenses. I even saw one converted to
OM mount.

Subject: [OM] AF for OM Z lenses on mirrorless OM A9x?
A rumor confirmed a few times that this is under development. Would enable
AF PD/AF for Zuikos by moving the sensor.
Still rather speculative, but intriguing. How could AG resist that? He
would have to sell the bimmer if necessary. Floating element lenses
wouldn't take kindly to focusing this way
and long teles might require too much movement so likely would require
manual focus to get close at least then should achieve spot on focus.
Looks like has IBIS too. :-) We'll see if comes to fruition.
There was a Contax at one time with a similar concept, no?
Ultimate digital OM back in works perhaps, Mike
