Just put up a page about my latest toy
(sold on eBay this week), the Zeiss Ikon
Contaflex, with one sample image each from
the three lenses. I really don't feel I was
able to get the best from the scanned print
of the stormy sky, but it was a "one hour
photo" cheapo, and my desktop scanner isn't
anything to rave about either.

Hello, I have my mother's old camera with a
fast F1.5/50mm lens. Vis:
http://yandr.50megs.com/zeiss/contax3/c3.htm.

The camera has gummed up but the lens seems
OK.

I want to use the lens, via some suitable
adaptor, for my Olympus E500, and I wonder if
you can help me to find such an adaptor.
Regards. PJ

no chance, the Contax III has a short rangefinder back focus and on the
E500, if you could make an adaptor, it will focus on about six inches
from the lens and no further away.
