Thank you guys for your swift reply and suggestion ! I think I am leaning towards the canon dslr and not all canon bodies can be use? Which site would you suggest I buy the adapter from or does any shop in spore carry's them ?

I have been away from the photography scene for about 14years after I got married and busy with life ever since then. Lately I am thinking of picking up the hobby again by using my existing contax lens from the 90's era which include a 21/f3.5 ML , 50/1.4 , 100/f2 , 180/f2.8 , 28-85 etc . May...

splendid !

have we chat before on some other local contax related forum ...is it yahoo ?Your nick look familiar ... anyway , I doesn't like the idea of changing the mount eventhough it's fully reversible. Are you using a adapter to the eos now or the oly ? I may get a used body/set and then slowly...

thank you for the brief yet detail answer . I guess it's time for shopping .

what is OP ? TCW = The Camera Workshop aka Don?

Oh my bad:p things has been evolving so fast , I have totally forgotten .:sweatsm:

Thanks but I intend to use my current contax/yashica mount zeiss lens then to buy into new one.Doesn't seems to have much improvment over the old lens coating .

Hi Edwin , Learn so much today ! So it's either I buy into a full frame and a adapter with AF confirmation or gotta bear with a 1.6magnification on my current manual zeiss lenses . Hmm... with my worsening eyesight as years goes by , I think I'll start with finding the adapter with AF...

thank you ,but I prefer to buy it locally .Maybe I should check around peninsula area.

Thanks for the headup , I didn't knew that split screen is out for most if not all DSLR .

it is getting more and more interesting .Just like opening a can of worms.... can you point me to some source or info ?Thanks .

I see , what about those megapixel stuff ? Some are 8 some 10 and some 12 .... does it make any difference to the final pictures? ( sorry for being such a snoob ..I'm completely clueless ) Thanks.

I guess you are also someone in the know.:) The 100mm Planar is well known for its smooth bokeh (background blur) with rich, deep saturated colors. It's a keeper and I hope to find the adapter and a Eos body soon.

thank you guys! I do not intent to do any machining to the mount as I still want to use it on my AX .so I think that left me with the options of buying a adapter for CYCZ ~ EOS camera body. Which body do you all recommed - as long as it can do justice to the zeiss optics?
