Sooo... If they come out with a terrific wideangle I could get an F mount to EOS adapter?
Not to shabby... Sort of half way there...

Unless the ZMs are based on the non-retrofocus ZF lenses that would only fit an SLR camera with lots of mirror clearance - like the Nikon DLSRs - and not Canon full frames . . .

The Nikon flange to film distance is only 1mm longer than the Contax Design, so the lenses may likely be the same design.

Can someone explain the Zeiss/Cosina relationship? Do they own Voightlander and Zeiss, or do they only have some sort of distribution/marketing agreement?

lots of Zeiss lenses (C/Y mount) in B&S and on ebay, all the sudden.

Wouldn't that be unluncky speculators ?
Not unlucky, fast, prices are still high. Hopefully in a few time they get lower and I'll be able to buy more contax lenses for my rx.

I'm guessing those lenses sit even closer than a crop camera mirror would allow.

The picture shows a manual 35 F mount camera, indicating they are not deeply recessed soley for a cropped frame DSLR.

The notion of Zeiss making EF lenses might be false hope, but I'd be happy to take that if you can't give me real hope :-)

According to Google Translate, Zeiss will imminently launch a range of 'Squat Achievement Lenses'. Which is nice.

Completely unrelated. I just wanted to say Graham you have a stunning website. I love the way the thumbnails 'flash' in as if a photo has been taken.

Who says Flash sites don't work. It is a thing of beauty as is the content


Wow, thanks!

Does anyone think there's a chance it will support autofocus?

The two cameras in one of the photos are FM3A and F6
