I just got a super deal on a Contarex Bullseye with 21mm, 50mm and 85mm + accessories. So now I\'ll have three 50:s, but the 21 and 85 are new to me.
I don\'t even know if the 21 can be mounted on NEX, but I\'m really hoping it\'ll work. Both the 21 and the 85 are legends, so I\'m really looking forward to trying them out when I receive them.
Contarex has a register of 46, so it should be no problem so long as the adapter doesn\'t screw things up.
I received the box of Contarex stuff today, and was very disappointed that the legendary 21mm f4.5 Biogon can NOT be mounted on NEX with the Kipon adapter, as the rear element protrudes to far in to the housing. It could probobly be modified to fit, because it has a large rotating plate at the rear, which maybe could be trimmed much smaller or even removed. It would of course completely destroy its value to collectors, and with only 4000 of these lenses ever produced, it would be almost illegal
The 50mm and 85mm were also in absolute mint condition. While I know the 50 quite well, as this is my third copy, the 85 is new to me. I took a few quick snapshots to try it out, and it\'s simply unbelivable, I have never seen anything like it. I\'ll show you what I mean in the coming days
