The adapter arrived and I quickly tried it. I'm a bit disappointed because it does not seem to reach infinity. Also I'm a bit puzzled at how to manage the aperture values, the lens stops down to f/22 but the scale on the adapter seems to go further (?)
Anyway here's a quick test shot in my living room. Should be at f/5.6 or around. The performance is superb (admireable planarity) as it was to be expected from such a lens. The M9 digital high iso noise does not help the shot. Colours are fantastic - at least I know it can work great colour wise with the M9.

Yes, very realistic colors.

Please take this sample for your gallery if you like.
I am convinced that this is, if not the first, surely one of the very first images made with Contarex Planar 2/50 on a full frame digital camera.

I will make more. But at the moment I am talking to the seller, I would like to have an adapter that reached infinity since there are almost 20mm difference in the register distances, I know it is possible
