matthew_pritchard1 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I read somewhere a while ago that Contax Zeiss lenses will fit on Canon EOS cameras. Is this true, myth, or a strange dream I had? Thanks Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_ferguson1 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I've used Hasselblad V series lenses on a Canon via an adapter and it worked very well. Although I should emphasise that I've had had very variable results with adapters which suggests the accuracy of adapter manufacturing isn't all it could be, this includes the worst performance being with hasselblad V series lenses on a Contax645, so OEM manufacturing isn't excluded from this caveat!

fwstutterheim Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 The Zoerk adaptor is for Contax SLR 35mm lenses to fit Canon EOS cameras, not the Contax MF lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith selmes Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I use contax lenses on Canon EOS cameras, via adapters.<br> Not medium format lenses though. That might be possible, but mine are the CY mount for 35mm SLR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografz Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hasselblad V lenses can be adapted to for use on EOS Cameras, as can the Zeiss/Contax C/Y lenses which people have been doing for some time. There is also a Leica R to EOS adapter. High quality adapters work quite well. Not all C/Y and Leica R lenses can be used on all Canon cameras because of mirror interference. There are compatibility listings available by searching on Google. The best solution I found is using Zeiss/Contax N AF lenses with the mount completely changed to an EOS AF mount. I use a converted Contax N24-85/3.5 for wedding work. It does everything a Canon L zoom AF lenses does just as fast ... while delivering that Zeiss color, contrast and less distortion.
