How good is the Contaflex126 Distagon 32 2.8

[Gatorengineer64]

Falling in love with the Zeiss Ultron 1.8 50 as discussed in the forums here. Wondering how good the Distagon 32 is? With adapter its lets call it $350 Is it worth it? I have the Zeiss 1.4 for the Sony Alphas, and a Topcon 35, as well as a couple of Pentax 35 that are highly regarded, but I am struggling to appreicate....

Is the rendering unique on FF of the above distagon? The Yeenon adapter is the bigger bite than the lens, and there isnt really much else exciting in Contaflex 126 other than this lens....

I can't answer, I don't have the lens. I just wait to found one cheap, just need patience and time.

From blog, IQ is nice

I plan to make my own adapter similar to this one from a DKL adapter.
