Hi,
the only Zeiss I am listing for the moment is the Contax G Zeiss Planar 45 f 2.0 (New in Box condition). From my knowledge this lens can only be adapted on micro 4/3 cameras (panasonic gh1, gh2, Gf1 etc.).
The Canon FDs I am listing are useable on the EOS bodies, but need an adapter with a glass element (to focus infinity) which slightly degrades image sharpness (especially at wide apertures) and alters the effective field of view (the crop factor becomes more close to 2x rather than 1.6x). The lenses are useable for video on a 7d (wouldn't use them for 18mpixel stills though), although not the best option available imho, given the price, for a 550d/t2i or 7d. Strangely enough, some of these lenses seem to work better than others on an EOS body.
My reason for selling is exactly that I was planning to get a GH1, then bought a t2i and switched to M42 mount lenses which I also use for stills, apart from video. And I cannot afford to keep 2 sets of lenses (need to get other equipment). I have used these lenses with a DOF adapter in the past.

PS: I am currently trying a project of modifying 2 Exakta mount Zeiss lenses (with the protruding aperture lever) to be mounted on EOS bodies. I will post results and instructions elsewhere. Since the focal lengths of these lenses are reduntant in my current setup, these may also be listed for sale at some point. But I have to test them first (waiting for an adaptor from China) on the t2i.
