Hi Group -
Doug made an inquiry regarding a Yashica product and a question popped into
my head I wanted to shoot past everyone. It involves adapting Contax/Yashica
Lenses to EOS Cameras. My understanding is that while mount adapters are
available and in theory they are functional designs they are not exactly
comparable to the R mount adapters in the field. The gist of it is the
Contax-vs-EOS Lens Flange to film plane difference is narrower than the
R-vs-EOS one and it leaves precious little room to construct an adapter which
retains it's dimensions, strength, and flatness, in an operational environment.
My Query is to wonder if a Leitax type conversion would be a solution for
contax lenses like it is for our Leica R ones? I think it would have a market.
What do members think?
Richard

There used to be a pretty obscure macro set-up with built in flash
that's supposed to deliver fantastic results - has anyone ever used a
Yashica Dental Eye?
I know the company made at least one truly excellent macro lens, their
2.8/55, but I'd like to know more about the one above.
Cheers
Douglas
