If adding an entry about a lens & adapter, please include:
1) Whether the lens is a AE or MM

Here's my report, all Kindai adapters and 5D. 28/2.8 - hangs every 30 shots or so. Variation in the mirror swing path is obviously to blame, and this has nothing to do with vertical or horizontal, or up or down orientation.

CANON 5D FEEBACK WITH A CAMERAQUEST ADAPTERSUCCESS!!!This past week "I. Asha" submitted the following feedback regarding the Contax 28mm F2.8 Distagon AE (I did clean up the format) - Quote:
The following contax lenses worked on my Canon 5D using the CameraQuest adapter:
AE MOUNT
• Contax 25mm F2.8 AE
• Contax 28mm F2.8 AE
• Contax 35mm F2.8 AE
• Contax 60mm F2.8 AE
MM MOUNT
• Contax 50mm F1.4 MM
• Contax 85mm F2.8 MM
• Contax 28-85mm MM
• Contax 35-135mm MM
• Contax 80-200mm F4 MM
Surprisingly, the Contax 100mm F3.5mm MM would not work. Additionally, a Yashica ML 21mm F3.5 worked fine.
No changes to the database since the lens was already marked "I". The 28mm F2.8 Distagon has been "iffy" fit on the Canon 5D for quite some time. Click here see the Contax C/Y Canon Table.

Just picked up a CY Zeiss 28/2.8 Distagon T* MM version, S/N 6936xxx. The lens was made in Japan and came with a generic (unknown brand), non-AF confirm adapter. The adapter has some heft to it and seems very well made. The lens works fine on my 5D without any interference whatsoever (mirror or otherwise) in landscape or vertical orientation. Focuses fine throughout the range, from minimum distance through infinity. This is one very sharp lens...I may need to dump my collection of Oly 28's.
