Don't get fooled by my user name - I also like Contax G cameras, and I like the G lenses even more.

Are there any adapters for these great lenses at all? Something to fit a Biogon, Sonnar etc. to any other rangefinder body?
 
There is rebuilding them to LTM. From there to M. Costs $550 a lens though...
 
Wait a couple of weeks and get the new CZ lenses in M-Mount :)
 
@Socke: yes, but they are very expensive. You get used G lenses in perfect condition for very little money...

I have a G2 with three lenses and I'll keep it although I'm longing for a digital rangefinder.

As has been mentioned here, conversion costs around $550 per lens. And I'm unsure how well a conversion from AF to RF coupled manual focus works out.

Hopefully I can resist the temptation and wait for the next digital RF.

The tax return, some savings and no vacation next year are enough for an Epson R-D1 with 21mm and 35mm CV lenses ......

But on the other hand, shooting a G2 and TVS in Cuba was a lot of fun, scanning the slides isn't so ....
But then, I spent close to 200 Euro on film and processing last month .....

No! I've got to be strong and resist!
 
Focus?

Focus?

How are they focused after the conversion? Anyone have a link to a site that describes the conversion?
