Need an adapter ring for Contax 645 lens to fit on Canon 5D body. I found one company (http://www.en.conurus.com/) that will be producing it, when...well who knows?

Can someone help? Need it ASAP. Thanks.

The Contax 645AF lenses do NOT have any adapter options because there is no aperture ring. The aperture is controlled electronically by the Contax 645AF body. Conurus - who does exceptional work - has not completed the mystical Contax 645AF to Canon adapter. I'm not sure if he is even actively pursuing the project. S K Grimes can probably make an adapter for you, but I doubt they can redo the electronics because that requires firmware updates to the lens, remapping of pins, etc., etc.
