Looking for a Digital DSLR for my Contax Glass

Thanks Stephen,

The test results are interesting.

And please help me out a bit. Which adapter for C/Y to Canon is best? There are so many on Ebay and elsewhere, it's hard to keep track

> Keeble & Shuchat in Palo Alto California is my pro store. Very reliable. They have several high end Contax Zeiss Germany lens for sale. A 100/2 West German, 28-85 zoom, 28/2 west german. And a 60/2.8 macro. Check them out on Google, etc. I am not affliated with them. Just a long term customer. Stan
 
Dave,
Exactly where I started, so I looked for one with the lock and the electrical contacts for focus confirmation, then price.

I have another on order, so will repeat the test and measurements when I have it.... I wait on a reply from the supplier of the first mount, pictured.

28-85N are plentiful and cheap in Europe, unlike 17-35......

Hell I'm tempted to try an N1 system !!!...... Film is some much easier than all this hassle...and maybe cheaper !
 
>Stephen, Keep us posted on your results. And I agree about film being less of a hassle than the conversion for N and C/Y lenses.

I/m still shooting film in my N1, NX, Aria, & S2 Other bodies, not so much any more Dave
