Now that I am armed with such a formidable device, all of you that laughed
at me will be very sorry! Or not... Laughing

Pictured is the Contax 137MA with Trioplan 2.8/100 lens. I remember Andy
saying what a good idea to use this adapter on Contax cameras, so finally
bought one.

Have you tested it yet?
I am very curious about the result. Does it keep infinity?

Orio, I'll be running a roll through it tomorrow using the Trioplan and one
of the Fleks, will see how it goes.

Here are a few shots today with Contax 137MA:

CZJ Flektogon 2.4/35, infinity focus



Trioplan, midrange:




Using Memories 200 film, had several shots with flare using the Trioplan,
need to see if there is some haze or something on the lens.

In the first shot infinity seems to be spot on, Bill.
Now you can use M42 lenses on the Contax camera, really a good investment because Contax made very precise metering cameras.
