Forget about it : it produces smeared corners. A real pity since that lens is so light and was so sharp on the original Contax G2. Plus you will have to cut the two plastic little wings standing in the rear.I'm looking for a great 21mm option w AF for the A7RII.
Anyone have any suggestions ?
Also, does anyone use the Contax G 21mm via Techart version 3 on the A7R ?
thanks in advance.
My thanks to the both of you for responding.
The Loxia is a great option but I'm not interested in manual focus.
Most likely I will just stay w the Batis 25 then.
18mm is too wide for my purposes.
Shame that about that Contax G 21.
It's really small and light.
I prefer a smaller lighter weight setup.
Do not like all the new bigger and heavier options.
Thank you Michiel for your response.Sigma Art 20/1.4 in Canon mount with the best AF adapter out there. I don't know that right now. Will be a bit big all together.
Thank you.Techart M af adapter + CV 21mm 1.8 should work.
You may get AF with Loxia, using Tech Pro adapter and LM-NEX adapter. Expensive and bit cumbersome to put adapter on the native mount lens, but is doable.My thanks to the both of you for responding.

Hmm. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flange_focal_distanceYou may get AF with Loxia, using Tech Pro adapter and LM-NEX adapter. Expensive and bit cumbersome to put adapter on the native mount lens, but is doable.
With an AF adapter of ~9.8 mm minimum thickness with an M-female mount and an E-male mount.Hmm. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flange_focal_distance
Sony E-mount flange focal distance 18mm
Leica M-mount flange focal distance 27.8mm
How is this supposed to work? :bugeyes:
Obviously it will not work.Hmm. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flange_focal_distance
Sony E-mount flange focal distance 18mm
Leica M-mount flange focal distance 27.8mm

I think that the discussion has drifted elsewhere : Kirk is no more speaking of the Loxia 21mm when he proposes the TechArt adapter, but of an older Contax/Yashica Distagon 21mm F2.8 that was designed for SLRs.Obviously it will not work.
A whole lot of cash down the drain for futile close-ups.
My mistake, looks like only option would be either Voigtlander 21 Ultron or Contax 21 Distagon with adaptersWith an AF adapter of ~9.8 mm minimum thickness with an M-female mount and an E-male mount.
EDIT (after reading Vivek's post) : Loxia's are not available in M-mount, only E-mount so indeed this doesn't work
Mine could use the Zeiss ZM lenses in lieu of a Loxia I'm not sure how the 21/2.8 performs on the A7RII but it was one of the better performers on the M.With an AF adapter of ~9.8 mm minimum thickness with an M-female mount and an E-male mount.
