Now, now, Denton! Maybe, in the interest of full disclosure, you ought
to mention that your own experiences with the Aria don't speak well of
its reliability. May be prudent to wait for release 1.1 :-)

Hmm, IMHO when in all the ads Contax lens prices are marked "CALL", it
is pretty safe to assume that "reasonable" is NOT in the vocabulary.
Sure, CZ lenses may produce slightly superior color rendition. However,
unless the picts are ALWAYS viewed on a first-generation medium (read:
transparencies on a high-end light table, using a high-end loupe), the
edge one gets using CZ lenses may quickly disappear, mostly due to the
inherent imperfections of digitization, printing, internegatives, etc.
