I have used Canon FD, EF and Contax for decades.
Do try out this lens.
Carl Zeiss 25mm F2.8 West Germany. :thumbsup:
Among Contax users, this is one of the cream.
A killer lens is the Carl Zeiss 100mm F2 West Germany.
It is not about sharpness. Most brands can give you sharpness.
It is the 3 dimensionality of the picture and beauty of the tone when you look at portraits.

You couldn't compare Biometar with Planar from W.Germany. The resolution is no way near the latter, but perhaps you get slightly better contrast. anyway its just a fraction of the cost of Planar. To use on the m42 is bulkiest to be reckon since its meant for pentacon-6 MF camera (doesn't mean MF lens is better than 35mmLens!). Beware of the coating, its hyper-sensitive, one wipe will cause coating damage/scratch, since the coating is very soft to my own experience. i like its color reproduction. I got this lens since 1995 from fotographics but use my pancolar instead most of the time. - weight & quality issue. Just two cents thought here.
I find that although shooting with the CZ28mm on the EOS !Ds body doesn't give me AF, it doesn't really hinder my shoot. In fact is is more like shooting with an M6 on steriod giving me 3 fps. I would delibrately meter the scene first and then concentrate on the composition and focusing.
As u know that shooting kids has to be pretty fast, the number of keepers that I had shows that u still can still continue to work fast without AF.

Using the Canon focusing screen with a manual focus tele lens can be a little frustrating....

The Zeiss has been on my cam most of the time.
Never cared about adapter being worn out.... hey.. these adapter are metals sia! U need some kind of machine to wear it out!
I cared more about my cam though... but the scratch is so light that I doubt it will cause any damage.
And if u worry that the electronic pins get worn out... well I think the cam gets obselete first looong b4 this happens...

I've got a Contax Zeiss T* mount 28 f/2.8, 45mm f/2.8 and 90mm f/2.8 that I really want to try on my Nikon D70.
My search for the required adapter has been fruitless..
Dude, I saw that you mentioned that you have a Bigon 28 f2.8, and you do mention about the 90mm f2.8 here. I get the impression that you are referring to the G mount lenses. The lenses that are at discussion are the C/Y mount lenses. I don't believe that there is a 90mm from Contax in C/Y mount, from Tamron yes. Is my observation correct?
