Contax_Leica Adapter

[ernesto]

I know Amedeo´s is the best, but this could be a cheap solution for me, since I want to try my 21mm Biogon, on a leica.
I wonder if someone has any reference buying from this site...

I have a brass adapter like that, given to me. I use it to test external Nikon mount lenses using my through the lens viewer, made for Leica lenses. It works well for testing the focus vs distance scale of the lens.

This should work for a wide-angle lens. For $25, it's cheap!

I have a vintage chrome-on-brass adapter similar to the one the eBay site. It works well on Contax 21, 35 and 50mm lenses, but also good with Nikon RF wides, as long as you are OK with scale focusing all of the above. Note: scale focusing anything longer than a 50mm lens wide open is a challenge, but stopped down to f8 longer lenses work well with this type of adapter.

The rf uncoupled amedeo adapter is not expensive at all. He used to put buy it now auction on ebay. The rf coupled one however, is getting more expensive. Availability vs. demand.

I would like to try this with my M 8 - at least with considered shots , I can check focus - and check which J 8s are useable .

I am expecting in the mail a RF coupled Amedeo adapter. The $25 sounds tempting too.
