Just curious, searching for bargain Zeiss glass.
Anyone know?

Thanks!

Please keep us informed of bargain Zeiss glass - the SL35 route is well-traveled, with few remaining true bargains. If you'd like to buy some HFT lens-less Rollei bodies, let me know!!!

Hahaha! So I take it that HFT glass is adaptable to EOS.

Film bodies must be cheaper than ever now.

They are adaptable, yet with most (cheap) adapters you will lose infinity. The 50/1.8 will hit the mirror of Canon full-frame cameras regardless of the name (50/1.8 Planar, Rolleinar, Color-Ultron, they're all one lens).

CZ and Voigtländer lenses with M42 and QBM - no problems at all with adapters and 1DsMkIII. Infinity no problem. Price for QBM to Eos adapter was 11.00 € (without chip)

Bargain prices for Rollei lenses ? Not very often. Crying or Very sad

aoleg, good to now as one day, I may be able to afford a full frame body.

Rolf, thanks and you were right not so much of a bargain after all.

There is no room for the chip so metering options will be limited.
Also no ability for AF confirm or exif (who cares about exif not me).
My opinion is that even at current prices.
Rollei and Contax lenses are generally still at excellent value if not bargain prices when you consider the options for the same level of IQ.
That said. Go the Contax route so you may have more keepers via beter metering control.

Cheers

Yes, at least some of them.
I use my 35mm 1.4 HFT distagon.
But register difference is about 0.5mm, so adapter should be hight quality and sometimes it's need to readjust the focusing scale.

All very good to know. Thanks guys! Hope to own some Zeiss glass within the next month. I'm a bottom feeder so it's tough!

your Micro Nikkor 105/2.8 is already top, what are you searching in Zeiss glass
I would look for bellow and Apo Rodagon 75:4 for your type of macros

poilu, that's not a bad idea!

kds315* I'd love your Color-Skoparex 2.8/35mm but it's out of my price range right now. Sad
