"Zeiss/Contax RF Lens Adapter to Leica RF" for $499.50
in their ad in "popular photography". Does anyone know more
about this adapter? Is it for Zeiss "G" lenses or the former
Contax RF lenses? Is it LTM or bayonet?
Also the price sounds incredibly high for a lens adapter.

Yes, the price sounds high. But...Given that you can find the Contax 21
2.8 - with finder - for about $1000 new, and given that the lens is supposed
to be every bit as good as the 21 ASPH...it could be quite a bargain....
