Guy,
With any non-Contax 645 lens mounted with any adapter your Contax 645 body will not communicate to lens.
As a result of this: spot meter works as you had a lens with aperture 0 connected to body - from practical perspective it is useless. Average metering works becouse its sensor is located in prism. Back will not inprint shutter and aperture settings. As M.Reihmann says Kodak digital back works with Hartblei superrotator lens mounted.
AF sensor still works, so when you adjust the focus you`ll see in viewfinder if it`s in focus or not - very convinient. I usually shoot in manual mode with Pentacon 6 lenses but Av mode works too. TTL works. Mirrow raise button does not work if I remember it correctly but you still can use 2sec delay mode that raises mirrow automatically.
MAM adapter does not support leaf shutters (what of course does not prevent you from doing that Robert pointed to - lock Contax in B mode and use mechanical Hassy lens in any way you want). Camera will still shoot using its own focal plane shutter only. Focusing to infinity is OK.
Did I miss anything?
