Does anyone use canon body with Contax or Leica lens?

[EricWangCN]

does anyone use Canon body with Contax lens? I saw some pictures on website . I found Contax fixed focus lens is so attractive. althought Leica is better ,but It's too expensive .
Does anyone use that ? and what do you feel ?

[jadeit]

There is a Canon EOS-Contax lens adapter available as well as Nikon and Leica to Eos. Below you can find a quite useful link on the subject (with some additional links to follow).

thanks you"Pszczola "and"Madroz " but It is too expensive to buy . I found that most cameras and accessories are much expensive than that in my hometown . It cost only 120ZL for such an adapter . maybe I can buy contax lens such as Contax 50/1.4 or Contax 35/1.4 .or Voigtlander 125/2.5 here .
Can you recommand where I can but them in Warsaw ? and what is the probable price ?

[Tomasz Golinski]

EricWangCN, do you know allegro? http://www.allegro.pl/showcat.php?id=8858

[EricWangCN]

the price is so terrible!
I don't understand why manual focus lens are so cheap but auto-focus lens are so expensive .especially canon L series lens ?

[Tomasz Golinski]

Simply because demand on manual focus lenses is very low now. People tend to be lazy Canon L series is just professional equipment. Me, I also think that it is to expensive

[EricWangCN]

haha ,I plan to sell all of my equipments when I left Poland .not only Gizto 1228 then .
Do you think people will buy it ? and I want buy a little pocket camera such like contax T3 or G2 .I don't find them yet.
The manual focus lens is realy cheap .but most of them are not good kept . so pity.

[Tomasz Golinski]

Everything depends on the price :P

[EricWangCN]

You are right .what do you think about
550EX 1100Zl
17-40/4L 2200ZL
70-200/4L 2200ZL
EOS3 2300ZL
EOSD60 2300ZL
lowepro nova 5 aw 200ZL ?

back to the thread ,I didn't find any contax len in that site

[yasin]

I wonder how did u manage to create account here since everything is in Polish :] maybe kinda joke

[EricWangCN]

I have a translater ,"logotrans" alought it's too stupied ,but most bbs are the same .post reply . even the style of forum .
I often access a site in my country .called canonfans. I'm a vip member in there . and I know a lot of friends throught that . but it's too slow to access there in poland .
so I search from internet ,and find here together with another bbs "forum street" but there are fewer people .

one interesting thing in that site is ,some friends have very good equipments . and they often take photo of them or take photo with them and share with us , then many fans begin to buy the lens/cameras . we call that "provide the poison"
for example .
