A 16 & VF is now available on the new Contax. I would love to be able to use it on my M4-P. I'm at a loss to see what is ridiculous about it. I don't feel like paying $1600 to buy a new Contax just to use one lens. eesyliu_at_eenw02po@smtpgwy.polyu.edu.hk wrote: > > It is a funny idea to place other lens on a M. But it is ridiculous. What don't use M-lens for M body. Using Nikkor or Canon is ok but they are bulky, as long compared with M-lens. Someone told me that he got a adaptor which can connect a 1942 Zeiss-Opton Sonnar 50f1.5 lens to a M body. The lens is excellent but the Contax rangefinder body is not as > good as M.
