I've been following the thread and just got a 45/2. I ordered the adapter
which circles the whole lens. I have to say that, so far, it is a little rough
to focus.. stops and starts. I'm thinking of getting one of the wheel
adapters next for the 90...... The "Kipon Adapter" seems to have a slightly
larger wheel which seems to make sense. Anyone using this adapter?
oh yea, a hand held shot in dim interior light....
I have ordered one a few days ago, but I'm still waiting for it. I'm impatient to try it now. I own both Contax G Zeiss lenses and M lenses from the film time. At first there were no adapter for the G lenses, so I got the Novoflex for the Leica lenses. When finally a Contax G adapter came out, I wasn't really interested : they were not supporting either of the WA lenses and I already had the M lenses covering 35mm, 50mm and 90mm. So I thought that getting the Contax adapter would be redundant.
Seeing some pictures taken with the G lenses at Dpreview and even more here made me change my mind : the pictures you get from the Zeiss lenses are really different from the ones produced with the M lenses. With them, the bokeh is really soft and beautifull, but the Zeiss lenses should be sharper from what I see here, all the more so that I have older Summilux lenses.
When I ordered the new Kipon adapter with the bigger wheel, I hadn't yet read all the messages of this thread and didn't know about the one with a full ring. Perhaps that I have missed a better one ? or perhaps not after all ? I'll report about my experiences when I get it.
Now if only a camera taking all that nice Contax G glass was available ! My preferred lense was the 21mm.
