>>3857857I probably would have gone with some variety of Contax system, probably the Contax G.
Light and compact ILC system with Zeiss lenses.
If not that, one of the Contax SLRs from the era, like the ST.
Contax has been one of the most long-lived names in photography for decades! The Japanese saved them from the Communists, and now with German unification, Contax and Zeiss can have its name only strengthened further by a return to Germany!!!
>Contax & Yashica killed off by Kyocera in 2005Be honest with yourselves, if you were in the 1990s and looking for a system to be loyal to, and didn't know what the future held in store, you'd probably have picked something else than Canon or Nikon.
