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.
