When Kyocera bailed on the system it ended any dream of an improved AF system update in the camera body. Wondering if any one has experience with both cameras? I'm hopingĪt some future date to get a digital back. I used the Contax 645 system for many years, and found the AF less than snappy or all that reliably accurate however, it was quite old tech compared to now. If you do have budget - go with H1D Hassy and don't look back.

The Japanese digital camera website .jp run by Yamada Kumio has today broken the news of Contaxs long awaited N Digital. It has better viewfinder than both Contax and Mamiya, faster AF but it is more like modern DSLR - it is much more electronic than COntax, has different system of controls, it will (probably) not be able to work with 3rd party glass as Contax and Mamiya can (say you can use Pentacon 6 east german Zeiss glass).

Mamiya had some little problems with film flattness in backs, but generally it is well comparable to Contax and if you have Mamiya you'll be probably OK. More rigid platform, plus ergonomically I think it is the best camera ever built. Speaking about Mamiya system it is comparable to Contax but with some litte differencies. you can check Ebay for Contax and Mamiya glass prices and you'll see for yourself what is what.

Optically Zeiss glass cutted by Kyocera is superb end of story. All systems do have their minuses and pluses. Well, has countless discussions of same sort.
