Suggestions for tech to make Custom Lens mount

Adapter for Zeiss Contarex to Canon EOS

I have a lovely Zeiss 250mm 1:4,0 Sonnar from my old Contarex system. I hate to think about that lovely glass just sitting on the shelf.


I need to find a shop which can remove the Contarex mount and put a Canon EF mount on it. The lens doesn't use the Contarex body to lens stop down system but is just a simple manual pre-set.
With the Conterex 46mm film-to-flange and Canon's 44mm this should be very do able.


I need the names of shops which take on this type of custom work.

It won't be cheap, but EOS mounts are easiest to adapt to.

I'll second SK Grimes. They do fantastic work.

Normally, I'm first in line to hack up old glass. However ----

PLEASE DO NOT destroy a Contarex lens. There were only 2019 of the 250/4 first model ever made and 2645 of the later version (with side focus & grip). These are pitifully small numbers to begin with and it's unknown how many of that original production still survive. Instead, sell it to a collector & use the money to buy several EOS lenses.

Thanks,

William
