Now all we need is a OM mount to Contax mount adapter, and we can turf the
OM bodies....

The following was posted in the Compuserve Photo Forum by Mike Johnston,
the editor of Photo Techniques.

Seems that Contax at least is still pursuing the market for a high quality
small manual focus camera...


>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Contax has announced a new camera that looks interesting. The "Aria" has
been made, according to the Japanese press release, to be "a thorough
pursuit of what is 'small, light, and easy-to-use.'" It weighs under 17
ounces and appears to be slightly bigger in physical size than an Olympus
OM camera or something like a Nikon FM-2. Otherwise it bears a strong
family resemblance to the other Contax SLRs, with a molded handgrip and big
oversized knobs. It's also the first Contax with optional multi-segment
evaluative metering, in addition to center-weighted and spot. Built-in 3
fps motor wind, auto-bracketing, and 5 custom functions.
