I just was given a beautiful Contax Zeiss 100mm f2.8 Makro Planar lens. It's in fantastic condition. This is not the "N" AF series, it's a full manual lens meant to be used on the Contax RTS, and 167 MT. It is, I believe, of mid 1980's vintage. Do you guys know if anyone makes a decent adapter for this lens to the Canon EOS mount? I sure would appreciate any comments/suggestions. Thanks in advance!SW
 
aly324, thanks for this link! It may take me a while to determine which one is the one I need for my MF 100mm f2.8.
 
Mr. Bill and DD, thanks for the tip on Fotodiox adapters. I think I will start with that first and see how it works out. I note that Fotodiox offers several models, with chip. What does that really do for you? I have read that the focus confirm feature does not work until F/8. Is that really the case?
 
Yeah, along with the 50mm f1.7 and 35-70mm f3.4, Contax Zeiss. They were a gift from my aunt, who is suffering from Parkinson's and cannot use her camera anymore. I was very honored by the gift. Just got the Fotodiox adapter and put it on the 100mm f2.8 Makro-Planar. Will do some testing with it, against my Canon 24-105mm F4L (set at 100mm) tomorrow. But it does seem to be a rather awesome lens.
