Hi,
I'm a newbie with this forum and have only had my CLE for about 2 months now. I'm really enjoying it except when the shutter stuck and I thought it might be a dead 'un.
Anyway, I've seen an adapter on another forum which discusses the issue of using Contax lenses on a Leica M mount camera. As a Rollei and Zeiss lens fan I'm curious about how someone uses an adapter to work on an M mount camera. I'm sure there's not much prospect of getting framelines in viewfinder (as it only matches to the Rokkor 20/40/90) and even has problems dealing with other Leica M mount lenses, so I'm wondering if it's a bit of a hit-and-miss, experiment-as-much-as-you-can affair. Does it get more complex than this or am I reading too much into it?
Lastly, I'm wondering is anyone knows of a good place to CLA the CLE with lenses. I don't mind sending the set abroad (I'm based in KL Malaysia), but I'd prefer to have recommendations from people here than sending it into the unknown.
Thank you for any advice in advance.
