Post subject: Contax - EOS adapter problem

I have the Contax EOS adapter manufactured by ZOERK. The adapter
exhibits a real problem: it can't hold tight certain lenses- and most
important is the 85 1.4 PLanar (German.) The lens can easily slip away
from the adapter-body. Now I have to look for a new adpater because
that particualr lens is awsome, plus, I'm not impressed by Canon
lenses. I was wondering if anybody ues that particular lens on EOS,
and hence, which adapter?
regards to all, J. |

Why not ask Zoerk to fix it? They aren't exactly a large-volume
outfit, and might be interested to hear about your problem. For $249,
it ought to work!

I did and they promissed replacement. I want to get another adapter
anyway, so I was wondering if anybody uses the Planar 85 1.4 on EOS?
How effective is the locking system of ther other two adapters in the
market?
