Hello everybody,

is there someone who has ever tried this kind of mount for a 50/1.5 Sonnar ?

thank you for everything.

Take a look at the recent thread: Contax/Nikon to M Adapter: Exposed. This is deep water to me. In theory it should work--and maybe focus Kiev mount Russian lenses on a Leica better than Russian LTM lenses. But tread carefully.

THis one looks expensive. I bought what seems much better on from Johnny Luk - had to send it back to be readjusted. It seems to work perfectly with my 50/1.5 Sonnar for Contax wide open on an R-D1; I specified I wanted one made from the earlier, better-engineered Kiev helical. I paid more like $180, which while expensive means you can get to use a Zeiss 50/1.5 at a price comparable to, say the Nikkor 50...
