 p.1 #1 · Zeiss/Oly -> 5D Compatibility List | |
Hi all! 
*************LIST UPDATED: Aug 12 2006**************
This list is possible thanks to Cinstance, PSquared, MarkSaperstein, Foto-z and other FMers that are trying their CZ lenses w/ the 5D. Thanks also to:
Guy Mancuso for his efforts w/ Leica glass and kidigital for 5D mirror mod (see the bottom of this post for more infos).
I've built the list and collected all the infos to try to make a unique point of reference for FMers and all other people that use these great lenses. Hope u'll appreciate my try! 
Please, post your CZ/Oly->5D experiences here (tries&mods) to share your findings and keep the list updated. The purpose of this thread is to share experiences with other users and increase the knowledge of the participants: for any other question, please create a new thread or use PMs/Emails.
Thankyou!
CARL ZEISS LENSES
The question "What Zeiss lens for my 5D?" has gained importance in the last days because some CZ lenses won't work on the new 5D. As someone suggested, I've started a new specific topic containing the list that I'll try to keep updated. This list is possible thanks to Cinstance, PSquared, MarkSaperstein, Foto-z and other FMers that are trying their CZ lenses w/ the 5D. Thanks also to: Guy Mancuso for his efforts w/ Leica glass and kidigital for 5D mirror mod (see the bottom of this post for more infos).

OLYMPUS OM LENSES
Oly's OMs seem to work without problems on the new Canon 5D. The list below contains the lenses FMers recently tested: check it out for updates. Thanks to Gary Merideth and Bob Parsons.

The lists above are NOT complete. I've considered only the most used CZ/Oly OM lenses on Canon systems. Feel free to expand/correct the lists, this is only a personal humble effort to try to help people like me involved in CZ and/or Olympus OM lenses.
The lists cannot be considered an absolute point of reference but only an indicative guide, because, as noted by other FMers here (Cinstance and MarkSaperstein), adapter's machining precision could vary from piece to piece and a lens that works or not is a matter of very little tolerances (0.1-0.3 millimeters).
5D MIRROR MOD by FMer kidigital HERE & HERE (for those of you that don't mind about warranty and are strong enough) 
Tuning Adapters For C/Y Zeiss Lenses. Topic started by Don Clary. Contains very useful informations about adapters, correct thicknesses for every wideangle, tolerances and more.

Zeiss Service Informations - Many thanks to John Luke "jjlphoto".
Go to this LINK.
Go to "Service and Maintanance", then to "Function Test". They have a "Test Cover Letter" linked as a download for you to fill out. I have them do their 7 Point Function Test as described on the web site. The cost is 49EU. If you decide to only do the test itself, you pay the 49EU. If you proceed with their recommended repairs, such as cleaning, mechanism adjustments, etc, that 49EU gets applied to that repair. They also have a link to a cover letter for a specific repair, if that is all you want done.
