Would you sell your Contax system?

It is very easy to use manual lenses. It's been done for decades before the advent of AF and automatic gadgetry by the greatest photographers of the world.

Just put the camera on manual, choose an ISO, choose an aperture, focus with the lens and use the internal light meter to set the shutter speed.

If it is dark, open up the lens to focus, than close to the desired aperture.

It's easy, just not as fast as modern day, run of the mill, characterless lenses. But you'll get used to it very quickly.

For the best adapters and I really mean great adapters, got to leitax.com. I don't have shares in the company, but these are the only way to go.

I would advise a Canon FF body to get the most out of the lenses. They were made for 35mm film so get a 35mm sensor.
 
No - I wouldn't sell. Only buying more and more.

I prefer A priority - let the camera do the math while I compose and focus.
