Anders just remember the Contax is a dead system so whatever you buy in there lineup might want to consider a extra body and a lot of batteries. There still around new and used but someday that ship will maybe dry up more. It's a nice system but just keep that in the back of your head. I personally went Phase/Mamiya all the way because it is still being made and actually expanded on with new glass and bodies. Not saying don't buy the Contax but your elbow room is limited to what is current today with no new path. So cover yourself with extra's at some point. The new back news for Phase is the new P65 so you will see more P45's hitting the market in used and demo gear. Again look around and try everything in MF and se what fits your needs and style the best. It is a heavy investment and you just want to be sure of yourself. Somedays i wish i bought the P30 plus instead of the P25 plus but I am real happy overall with my choice and it works for me. If Contax is what you want than Phase , Leaf and Sinar are the backs for it. Hassy is out of the picture than. Now you can always get a back remounted for a different body not necessarily the cheapest route unless you get a back with a warranty that has a replace the mount built into it. Value added warranty of Phase has this and Yair can give you the info for leaf since i don't know there warranty policy and such. Sinar has adapters already available to switch even that day. Leaf and Phase would have to go back to the factory to make a mount change
