Hi,
I am interested in adding a platform to support a 200mm lens (or thereabout) to supplement my Contax G for the days when the 90 is not long enough. I am mostly shooting chromes, so colour is an issue.
Presently I am thinking along the lines of a Contax 167mt with a Tele-Tessar 200/4 (both used). But had also been eyeballing Contax RX, Sonnar 180/2.8 and Tele-Tessar 200/3.5 lenses (these are heavy).
Looking at present used prices, Leica 180ies seem cheap these days as do Nikon 180ies. In either case I need a body.
Any comments/thoughts are deeply appreciated.

PS: Anyone knows a Contax SLR mailing list/forum which still generates a decent amount of travel? The once I knew seem gone.
