The aperture and focus rings on Contax CZ lenses go the "wrong" way (like Canon FD, Leica M/R, Konica Hexanon-M, Mamiya 7, Minolta SLR), the mount action is very similar to Pentax though. I always get stuffed up when mounting Nikon lenses, not nice. The Cosina Voigtlander SL lens controls are like Pentax for all mounts.
