I made a Contax / Kiev RF to NEX Adapter today

I've used a totally broken Kiev RF from Ebay for ~5€ and glued the focusing mechanism of it with an ~2mm extension on the cheapest Leica M - NEX adapter I was able to find
If you use an MFT - Leica M or EOS M - Leica M Adapter etc. instead of the NEX - Leica M Adapter it should also fit these camera mounts.






The "extension ring" came from an old-style yellow filter




I had to remove the pin which holds the lens from the adapter first.


Then I glued them together. Extension ring was 1,9mm thick, perfect would have been 2,2mm instead


Et voila! Focus is comparable smooth, infinty sits at ~25m an minimum focusing distance is much closer than usually.

I paid less than 15€ for all parts incl. shippment. Much cheaper than the Kipon Adapters on Ebay
