I don't believe there has been a leaf shutter 35 interchangeable lens RF since the Zeiss Contaflex (Contax? Contarex?) and Retina Reflex, the 50-60s models with leaf shutter and rear elements fixed on the body and front elements interchangable. All the others, living and dead, use focal place shutters.You need an fp shutter of a leaf shutter built into the body to keep the film from being exposed when the lens is changed.

I **know** it's not a Zeiss Ikon Contax; I gots one! All seven models of the Zeiss Ikon Contax from beginning to end of their production had *heavy guage* metal vertical travel focal plane shutters.
