Not having used one, I would imagine the Contarex to Sony adapters would be somewhat funky to use, not to mention they seem to be expensive - even the "cheaper" versions. How does the aperture movement feel with the adapter? Are there clear mechanical detents for each stop (or half stop even) or do you have to look at the adapter to know what stop you are at?
i have the fotodiox pro adapter and the aperture ring is smooth and easy to turn (but not too easy) with no detents. should work great for video work. from keeping an eye on the meter it appears to have accurate distance markings from one stop to the next, though the labels are incorrect since my lens is f/2 and the adapter starts at f/1.4. the aperture ring is well placed enough that it feels as natural and easy as on most other adapted manual focus lenses. it falls better to hand than the one on my rx1. no idea how well the mechanism will age though.
