Carl Zeiss Planar T* 1.4/85mm C/Y

Hallo, schau Dir mal den Link an: http://www.panoramaplanet.de/comp/#Contax - der löst auf, was an welcher Kamera geht und was nicht. Ist sicher nicht die einzige solche Liste im Netz, aber die nutze ich gern. Jörg

My experience with Canon 5ii and some of the lenses in the list is different.

Pancolar 80\1,8 m 42: with no-name adapter; no problem, no modifications needed to reach infinity setting.
Contax MM 28\2,8: ------"---------
Contax MM 35\2,8 ------"--------

The mirror might perhaps be shorter on the 5ii, or sample variations may play a role.

Changing adapters to thicker ones than standard in order to clear the mirror is not a proper solution. Only one specific thickness gives the correct infinity setting. Thicker adapters make infinity impossible. Thinner adapters will move the infinity point to a "closer setting" on the scale.
