A7rll and Contax N24-85 That zoom has a nice punch, Gregg. What adapter are you using? Does it give AF or just aperture control?
Yes it's really nice! Not as sharp as my Contax 35-70/3.4(aren't many lenses that are really!), but it has 24-35mm and 70-85mm too. It's a slow lens, but it's very typical Contax/Zeiss with great colors and contrast. I'm having a bit of mixed emotions about it right now though. The web images look really good, but from 24-40mm or so, I'm not getting corner to corner sharpness, even stopped down. Not sure if it's the lens design, or if it's just decentered? I must admit though, I love the range and it's images! Great lens overall.
It's an auto-focus lens, just not on the A7x series, but you do get aperture control. The manual focus isn't the greatest, so magnification is required most of the time. I'm using it with a Kipon adapter that are apparently no longer available. But I have seen other brands on EBay.
