Contax/Yashica (C/Y) to Pentax K adaptors
Cheers.

Hi all,
i've a few C/Y fit lenses from my 35mm days which i'd like to try on my K-x. There are several sellers online offering such adaptors now. Has anybody else any personal experience of this and could possibly make a recommendation...or alternatively warn me off if it didn't work out?
many thanks

I've always wanted one but due to some specific difficulties the usual adaptors were no use, apparently now they've produced an adaptor with a lens (the usual ones are lens-less so don't affect optical quality). I've no idea how much they are or how good, but I've always wanted to use my Sigma 24mm C/Y fit lens. It was very sharp in the bad old days of film.

If anything does come of this and I decide to try one of these adaptors i'll post some of the results on here with my thoughts...it might help someone else. I thought i might as well try and make some use of those lenses as sell them for a pittance.

it's quite simple, although the machined lens mount they are selling is quite expensive
I've used two converted Contax lenses : Planar 50/1.7 and Sonnar 85/2.8 and they were absolutely beautiful with my K10D.
