M42-Contax/Yashica recommended

[naplam]

I just received a M42 (lens) to contax/yashica (camera body) adapter and it works great, it's slim and the lens has infinity focus. And the Mir-1 i tested it with does not collide with the camera mirror in a Yashica FX70.

I think it's a must-have if you have both contax cameras and m42 lenses. I bought it from "tesarphoto" on eBay (slow shipping from China, but worth the wait).

Thanks for the heads-up, Naplam!

That's very handy to know about, thanks.
I can look at Yashica/Contax bodies now, knowing they'll work with all my Tamrons as well as my other 42s.

Thank you for the tip ... Are the M42 -> C/Y adaptors like the Pentax K's, that is, avoid ones with the flange? I took a look on ebay and saw a bunch, some of which even warned about not getting infinity... others only perhaps implied it at best.
