Adapter for what camera, Ron?
It would be wasted effort to make an expensive adapter for a reflex camera, because Contax G lenses are rangefinder and you will only be able to focus to a few centimetres away.
To use those lenses on a reflex camera you would need a total rebuild of the lens inside a new barrel with aperture ring and focus helicoid.
Frankly speaking, with so many good relex lenses available, I can't see the point in defacing a Contax G lens in such an expensive way.
For the new micro 3/4 system, instead, that could be interesting, but again, with so many lenses available, why spend money and efforts to adapt the Contax G lenses? Use a normal Contax lens instead with the readily available adapters. _________________ Orio, Administrator
