Andrew, please stop!!! You're making me want to sell my other gear and get an M9.

On another note, whatever happened to Patrick C.? He seems to be MIA.

The 3 Gs. Recently converted three of my Contax G lenses to M mount. Still have 3 unconverted to use with an old G2.



Some test sample images from the Gs on a Leica M-E. All on tripod at same distance from subject. Click for full size.

Carl very nice photographs. Do you find the quality of the lens the same after the conversion to a M mount? Who did you go with to complete the conversion of the three lenses?

Interested in hearing your opinion.

Thanks.

Thanks Dan. The optical quality is still the same after conversion. I would have preferred the conversion Robert was offering from Hawk, but the queue was too long. This conversion places the focusing ring at the base of the mount which is a bit cramped, but usable. Also, there is no distance/DOF scale, other than inf and close focus marks. I asked for hard inf/close focus stops, but apparently he can leave near focus uncoupled if desired). Focusing is very smooth, accurate on the M-E and certainly easier than it was with adapters on m43/NEX cameras. Mounts have 6 bit coding (all painted white, just add black marker/paint where needed if desired). Very quick service and reasonable price. Ebay merchant located in LA area.

That was exactly the line up I had with my G2 Carl. I loved the lenses, but the camera was a bit finicky, so I sold the kit, only to buy a new one a year later :D

I imagine the ZM 28 and 50 are equally as good, but I wish they could make another Sonnar.
