Luggers,
    The 15mm f/3.5 Distagon lens in a Contax reflex mount has successfully
been adapted to the Leica reflex camera. As I understand it, the conversion
was quite expensive, but the cost of the Leica version and the general lack
of availability, made the conversion worthwhile to some people.
    Therefore, I think converting other Contax lenses should be possible,
but very
expensive.
Happy Snaps,
