Mine is tack sharp and el-cheapo adapter bought in eBay with focus confirmation chip. However now I do not need them as I have changed to EE-S precision focusing screen on my 5D

Lynn, i have used the below adapters on my MF lenses and have had no AF confirmation issues nor any mounting issues on the lenses:

On the 35-70 i also ordered a 67mm to 77mm step-up ring and ordered the below Metal hood + Cap that works great on the 5D MKII FF body:

I've finally got the adapter worked out and now I get to go and take photos, this lens is still a learning process for me and I like the fact that I have to keep working on my PP and Sharpening processes along with my eye's not being young any more but they work good enough.
So here are a few that I have taken in the last couple of day's and there a little over sharp to me but I'll keep on learning.

I'm surprised this lens hasn't garnered a nickname yet.

Any suggestions? It's sharp, has beautiful bokeh, Zeiss,
low-cost.


I think we should let it go at that...let POTN have the nicknames.

Nice detail & depth in this capture Lynn. Looks great on my monitor. Do you recall the FL & Aperture used ?

F/8 50mm really had a good time with this lens. I use a camera that doesn't have live view so when I put them in lightroom and view on my computer they really, if in focus, look good

Thank you! I have to say the same. The second is among the best I have seen from GC. The light is sublime.

Anden - great close up shots. Love the high-key lighting, color, and bokeh. I'm not normally a fan of the bokeh of the 35-70 on close up shots.

Tri - great GC shots!

Hi there!
Here is my disclaimer.......The following are from a Yashica ML Zoom 35-70mm F3.5-4.8. No, it doesn't have the "Contax/" in front of it, but hey, whatever. It cost 35 dollars on Ebay. It is SHARP, I like it a lot. Nuff said?

With 36mm extension tube

I'm not worthy (yet). First outing with 35-70 on 5D. I was experimenting on shooting a very backlit scene when the buck deer ambled through. I lost my mind and forgot to stop down. So this is at f/3.4.

Yikes, I'd remove some of the purple fringing in PS by selecting that area and desaturating purple/magenta.

Lovely pano shot campx.
