Popular or Modern Photography 20 or 30 years ago had an article on the 10
best lens ever made. I think Zeiss made 3 of them, and they were the only
company with more than one.
I know there are a lot of great optics out there, but I still love Zeiss.
I have several Zeiss cameras, binoculars, microscopes, etc.
With everything going digital, and various health problems, I haven't
touched my Contax RTSs in years. I was planning on buying a digital body to
use my optics, but they never released one.
If anyone knows of a good digital body that will adapt to RTS optics,
please let me know.

Our cam was fitted with a high grade Ziess lens that cost a fortune
even then,
Zeiss made a lot of lenses, some of which were great.
Goerz made a few of the greatest lenses ever made.
For personal use, I'm looking for Leitz Summicron in all focal lengths,
and Nikkor 105mm that was made in mid 1960s.
And, if I can ever get a 4x5 digital back, I want a Goerz Dagor.
All out of my price range.
