Hi.
Today I took a distagon 25mm by west Germany with B+W filter at 230 €
There was a seller near my town that selling a lot with three lenses at € 500
So, he accepted my offer for this lens.
http://www.subito.it/fotografia/zeiss-planar-distagon-sonnar-per-contax-yashica-napoli-59885668.htm
I went personally and I bought the 25 mm
I think I got a good price.
Now I have to buy an adapter.
I researched online for an adapter contax -> nex and have read conflicting opinions.
have you a direct experience in C/Y -> Nex adapter way ?
I'm confused between a Kipon and a Fotga (half price of kipon)

What do you recommend?
Thanks for the support

I use one from ebay seller BIG-IS for my C/Y Tessar 45/2.8 on an NEX-3.
No complaints whatsoever, and *far* cheaper than a Kipon.

I like Fotga, they are very good and well made, Fotodiox are also good. I'm not over impressed with the Pixco adapters though, they have the right length for infinity, but the OM, PK and FD ones I have allow a very tiny bit of rotating movement of the lens, it's locked on well enough, it just moves fractionally as I turn the focus ring - and the others dont.

Yes, all mine are good for infinity. As are the Pixco. They all seem to allow the lens to go slightly past infinity, which is better than not reaching it.
