Traditionally they have been metal bodied and not "plastic", the glass and design is of the 1st order. They normal achieve some of the the best MTF (modulation transfer function) results. Plus they have there own unique T* coating on the optics that helps contrast and colour rendition.
General regarded as about as good as it gets, Leica owners would disagree i guess.
In more recent times found on Hasselblad and Contax cameras. (plus some licenced items on Sony cameras)
I use CZ T* Prime lenses on my Contax
I would have thought it a good move for CZ to do an AF version, rather than doing a "cut and shut" on the mount of an old Contax lens !!!! Shame......
I wouldn't fancy trying to focus on a D70 screen after looking through the RX..... which I plan to keep and use !!!!!

I did look at going Canon before getting the D70. Was a close call. The Canon/Contax mount I understand are manual everything, stop down metering, as there is no link to tell where the aperture is set to. Not sure if it even stops down when your fire the shutter.. forget and your have massive over exp !!!..... and trying to focus on a plain screen etc...... Decided to keep the Nikon/Digital the convenience route and still use film for proper stuff/B&W on the Contax
