Hello.

First of all, i wish you a happy ending.

I have been lucky enough to find a Contarex Bullseye with a Carl Zeiss Tessar 2.8/50mm.
It's a beautiful piece of metal and glass.





I would like to try it on digital body. I have 3 possibilities : Canon EF, Fuji FX or M4/3.

I've found CRX to NEX adapter rings but no EF, FX or M4/3.
I've read that CRX to Eos will not reach infinity.

Do you know if there are any solutions ? Maybe CRX to NEX and then NEX to FX or M4/3 (couldn't find any) ?

Have a nice day.
Olivier

Due to the flange distance, you're not really going to find DSLR adapters (it would need additional optics, and with the rarity and quality loss, not really worth the effort to design it), but mirrorless is definitely an option. Fotodiox makes adapters for CRX to M4/3 and FX. They're not cheap though, about $130 each.

Are you going to use the camera with some film? I'd be curious to see results!
