At the beginning again.
nice looking camera...i agree about the chrome on the lenses, but as an M mount camera, I'm sure I could get past it.

As I posted in another thread yesterday, I met with Tony yesterday and picked up what I think may have been the first Black ZI body he sold. I'm afraid it really is a yummy camera. It's just awful working 5 minutes from Tony. See my other thread about first impressions.
As an erzatz gastroenterologist, I say that YOU MUST GET ONE OF THESE BABIES to alleviate YOUR G.A.S.

Nice looking camera but not quite sure what they were thinking about when they designed the lens with that gaudy chrome details.

Really? Both of them? Cool. I'd love to see a photo. (Still gaudy design though - regardless if the hood covers them or not
)If nothing else I'm sure the body and lens would look really nice with a hood on so I'd be curious to see a photo anyway.

I agree with you. The actual design of the bayonet is nice as it allows you to have the lens hood on and still easily put on and take off the Zeiss lens cap. As for it being chrome, it matches what Zeiss is doing with its F-mount SLR lenses and what CV did with its 40 Nokton.
Otherwise, it's reminiscent of the first generation of Canon's FD lenses (called "white-face" lenses I think) way-back-when. That look didn't last too long because, as per Ivor Matanle's book on collecting SLR's (if memory serves), photographers thought the reflections from chrome going into the lens might cause problems.

mock me, go 'head...of course it doesn't hide the back ring...

The chrome ring reminds me of the first 50/1.4 FD on the Canon F1. It was re-issued with a black ring within a year. Now the chrome one is a "collector's item".
Nice looking camera. The more squared off body of the Contax adapted to a Leica M.
