Interesting business model. If this guy is honest and it looks like he is . I wish him very well. Maybe he can expand to other cameras and mounts. Looks pretty cool either way.
Click here to see on Ebay

very interesting, thanks for sharing!
If he markets a Sigma with Contax mount for the same price, I might give it a thought for Christmas!

WOW  fast response. Here is the mail I just received.
| Quote: | Dear f16sunshyn,
Andy it looks very feasible , but although I did purchase a C/Y lens to study the mount architecture I
have not yet started on a Prototype.
My Biz plan is driven by a Poll I did at Dpreview and I have been manufacturing the mounts in the
order that reflects the interest shown .The Contax C/Y was almost the one with the least number of
people interested on it , followed only by the Canon FD.
It is possible that this is motivated by the difficulties associated with those mounts and general skepticism about its feasibility . I believe that once I have a working prototype the interest might
snowball.
The mount that has the most intense calling is the Canon EOS to SD14 !! and that escapes me.
Thanks for your comments and feel free to email me directly at luis@sigmacumlaude.com so I can ad
you to my Contax mail group list.

I love the fact that EOS being the most requested is confounding. I also don't get it. Maybe people think that then they can adapt more different mounts (buy a canon). Or maybe it is all the ELLE-HEADS thinking they can use the redstripe lenses from Canon. Interesting anyways. This whole replacing mounts is something new to me anyway.

I think that there is many people who own a Canon camera and would like to try the Foveon sensor and this explains the rather silly thing.
He should not weight the consensus for Contax mount on a mainstream forum like DPReview.
I think that between the communities that use manual focus lenses, the consensus for a Contax solution would be quite large.

Orio I agree with this thought. I wrote to him in my reply similarly and directed him to our forum. This could be an interesting new trend if it catches on. Hopefully the big dogs are watching. Those rat F-ers. I'm glad I did not just say that although I wish I did.

Very true. I did a rough count at my Camera club (174 paid up members this year)
Canon DSLR users outnumber all. BUT. I only know one who uses any MF lenses or lenses other than Canon AF.
With the Nikon DSLR users (Second most popular) about 1/3 of them use a MF lens or two and a good number of them use other makes with Tamron Adaptall being the most popular. This is even more strange (Perhaps) when you consider most of these users can't meter with a manual lens, they use a hand held meter or just guess with the help of the histogram.
I should add that few of the DSLR users have any real interest in MF lenses. The Nikon users usually have a couple of old Nikon lenses they like and the Tamrons are popular for the price performance ratio.
The most popular MF lenses are fish eye, long telephoto, and lens baby, in that order.
Perhaps a pointless observation but of my regular shooting buddies only 3 of them are Canon DSLR users, 1 a Minolta 7D user, I Fuji DSLR user and 10 + Nikon users?
I‘m not sure this tells us anything but it doesn’t seem to reflect the average?
Perhaps one thing that may upset my figures is that Swindon does have a 'Canon users' Camera club.
Rather a stupid idea IMO. I mean what difference does it make what camara you use. perhaps a bit strong but I do think they are a bit of a joke and I imagine they sit about discussing cameras rather than doing any photography!
PS I havn't had a chance to try a Sigma SD 14. I would love to know how it compares in real world use to my own Canon G5, the new Canon G9 and the Ricoh models all shooting RAW.
The reason I can't try one is the 3 camera shops in Swindon (Not including Jessops) are not stocking it and have no plans to do so?

You might buy a Pentax and use this solution:
http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/23284-zuiko-olympus-om-lenses-pentax.html
(scroll down)
To be more safe you could also buy a broken AF Pentax body with identical bayonet and change that to a Contax one and then replace the bayonet on the Pentax dSLR . This way the process is reversable.

thanks Cosmin
I already read this post but I think the lens are not secured.
I prefer to find some solution with a lever who lock the lens
Did you remember the bad story of Orio with his contax 135:2

This is interesting however the Camera has some pretty iffy reviews. The image quality is very good however no matter what Sigma says, the end result is a 4mp file, not a 14mp file. Also, I have a friend that had one and sent it back due to the difficulty in navigating the menus. Personally, I would rather get an adapter for the Leica lenses and use them on something else.
All that work for a 4mp image seems a bit much IMO.
