Anyone using Contax 645 AF lenses on the S System

I did read a few articles about this. From what I gathered the Contax lenses are excellent BUT not as good as the S Lenses. I am hoping that there is someone on the forum that has used the C lenses and if there is really a Big difference and what is the difference. Thank you Dennis

With the exception of the 210 and 350, the Contax lenses are great. They are not as good as the S lenses, although the 35 comes close. But they are also very much adapted lenses and don't focus as easily or reliably. I used the 35 and 140 while my S lenses were being upgraded, but I would never use one when an S alternative was in my possession..

I will Stop here and just go with the S lens. Makes no sense me buying the S007 and using other than Native glass for it. Thank you
