 CONTAX 25mm F2.8 DISTAGON AE OR MMAdapter and fit feedbackwww.pebbleplace.com/Personal/Contax_db.htmlThis thread is for ongoing discussions and experiences regarding the 25mm F2.8 Distagon on the Canon dSLRs such as the 40D, 1D Mark III, 1Ds Mark III, Digital Rebels and all other Canon dSLRs. If adding an entry about a lens & adapter, please include:
1) Whether the lens is a AE or MM
2) Whether the lens is made in Germany or Japan
3) Which adapter you are using
4) If the lens works properly at its minimum focus distance and at infinity

CANON 5D FEEBACK WITH A CAMERAQUEST ADAPTERSUCCESS!!!This past week "I. Asha" submitted the following feedback regarding the Contax 25mm 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 "Y". Click here see the Contax C/Y Canon Table.

I've tried the Contax 25mm f2.8 Distagon (MM version) on my Canon 5D mark II with two different adapters.
With both adapters (german made, one thick one thinner) I have had to file the diaphragm protection on the rear of the lens and 2mm of the fin, otherwise the lens hits the mirror.
With both adapters I have got infinity focusing.
