peter_houtmeyers Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Hi Would it be possible to fit an Contax zeiss distagon 16mm 2.8(mf) to a Canon 1d.If so what do i need (adapter, rebuilding)? I can buy this (mf lens) second hand for 150 dollar. I can not find many info about this on the net.Al advice most welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_earussi1 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 If you can buy a Contax 16mm fisheye for $150 do so, asap before they change their mind. Who cares if you can adapt it or not. Those things are $2000+ lenses and are second only to Leica fisheyes in quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawz Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 You need a good C/Y adaptor, and it may have mirror clearance issues. I'd recommend asking about this in the Alternate forum over at fredmiranda.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourfa Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 according to the 16-9.net list (http://16-9.net/lens_tests/adaptors_1ds.html), no interference on the 1D/1Ds or 5D. you can buy adaptors on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_houtmeyers Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Thanks for the fast replies. I allready knew it was usable on a crop body ,but i wasnt sure it would fit a aps-h body without the mirror hitting the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
