First photos of Amedeo's adapter to support both Contax RF and Nikon RF lenses. These are lenses made for the classic Contax IIa and IIIa, and the Nikon S, S2, S3, SP rangefinders.
Some wide angle lenses are not compatible due to extended rear elements conflicting with the shutter chamber of the G1. These are more complicated than the typical adapter, because there is a focusing helical in the adapter.
Available soon from amedeo.m on ebay.
Previously it required two adapters to use these lenses (Amedeo's Nikon RF to Leica M adapter, plus any Leica M to G1 adapter.)
Unlike their Leica thread mount cousins, the Nikon RF and Contax RF mount Nikkors and Sonnars are generally reasonably priced and offer legendary vintage rendering. Here is a photo I shot with a Carl Zeiss Opton Sonnar 50/1.5 on the G1 (using two adapters.)
